31P NMR spectra were obtained from poly(dA-dT) . poly(dA-dT) fibers which gave an X-ray diffraction pattern similar to that of the A form of natural deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The analysis of the line shape indicated that the A form of poly(dA-dT) . poly(dA-dT) has a single uniform backbone conformation; the orientation of the phosphodiester group relative to the helical axis was determined to be beta = 70 degrees and gamma = 52 degrees. The 31P NMR spectra of poly(dA-dT) . poly(dA-dT) were in remarkable contrast to the 31P NMR spectra of the A form of natural DNA, which exhibited an unusual line shape. The origins of the abnormalities in the line shape for the A form of natural DNA are discussed in terms of phosphodiester orientations.
从聚(dA-dT)·聚(dA-dT)纤维获得了31P核磁共振谱,该纤维给出的X射线衍射图谱与天然脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)的A形式相似。线形分析表明,聚(dA-dT)·聚(dA-dT)的A形式具有单一均匀的主链构象;磷酸二酯基团相对于螺旋轴的取向确定为β = 70度和γ = 52度。聚(dA-dT)·聚(dA-dT)的31P核磁共振谱与天然DNA的A形式的31P核磁共振谱形成显著对比,后者呈现出异常的线形。根据磷酸二酯取向讨论了天然DNA的A形式线形异常的起源。
