The low-salt Z form of poly(dm5C-dG) reported in the literature was shown to be due to minute amounts of bivalent cations. If the polymer was purified by dialysis against 1 mM EDTA, poly(dm5C-dG) showed the normal B form. No change in this B form was observed up to 0.8 M NaCl. Very small amounts of Mg2+ or Ca2+ (10(-6) to 10(-5) M) induced the characteristic Z form CD spectrum, which could easily and rapidly be reverted to B-DNA by addition of EDTA.
文献中报道的聚(dm5C-dG)的低盐Z型被证明是由于微量二价阳离子所致。如果通过用1 mM EDTA透析纯化该聚合物,聚(dm5C-dG)会呈现正常的B型。在高达0.8 M NaCl的情况下,未观察到这种B型有变化。极少量的Mg2+或Ca2+(10^(-6)至10^(-5) M)会诱导出特征性的Z型CD光谱,通过添加EDTA可以轻松快速地将其恢复为B-DNA。
