The minimum energy conformations of dApdA have been examined for their suitability as buildings blocks of the single stranded coil form of polynucleotides. Calculations of the characteristic ratio C difference = less than ro greater than 2/n liter2 were made for a polymer generated from all the low energy conformers, as well as for selected combinations. A polymer composed of a conformer with omega', omega = t*,g+,(skewed) psi = t, C-(2)-endo type pucker, in combination with the 'B' form, has a C difference equal to that observed in coils of apurinic acid (6) when the fraction of 'B' form conformers is approximately 25% and approximately 91%. The t*,g+ conformer is the second lowest energy form in the C-(2)-endo puckering domain, following the 'B' form.
已对dApdA的最低能量构象作为多核苷酸单链卷曲形式的构建块的适用性进行了研究。对由所有低能量构象异构体生成的聚合物以及选定的组合进行了特征比C差值(<r₀>²/n<2>)的计算。当“B”型构象异构体的比例约为25%和约91%时,由具有ω'、ω=t*、g⁺(扭曲)、ψ=t、C-(2)-内型褶皱的构象异构体与“B”型组合而成的聚合物,其C差值与无嘌呤酸卷曲中观察到的C差值相等(6)。t*、g⁺构象异构体是C-(2)-内型褶皱域中能量第二低的形式,仅次于“B”型。
