Poly (dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC) was modified by the reaction with N-acetoxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene. The conformations of poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC) and of poly d(G-C)AAF were studied by circular dichroism under various experimental conditions. In 95% ethanol, the two polynucleotides adopt the A-form. In 3.9 M LiCl, the transition B-form-C-form is observed with poly(dG-dC) . poly (dG-dC) but not with poly d(G-C)AAF. In 1 mM phosphate buffer, poly d(G-C)AAF behaves as a mixture of B- and Z-form, the relative percentages depending upon the amounts of modified bases. The percentage of Z-form is decreased by addition of EDTA and is increased by addition of Mg++. Spermine favors the Z-form in modified and unmodified polynucleotides. No defect in the double helix of poly d(G-C)AAF is detected by SI endonuclease.
聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)通过与N-乙酰氧基-N-乙酰基-2-氨基芴反应进行修饰。在各种实验条件下,通过圆二色性研究了聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)和聚d(G-C)AAF的构象。在95%乙醇中,这两种多核苷酸呈现A构象。在3.9 M LiCl中,聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)观察到B型向C型的转变,而聚d(G-C)AAF则未观察到。在1 mM磷酸盐缓冲液中,聚d(G-C)AAF表现为B型和Z型的混合物,相对比例取决于修饰碱基的数量。加入EDTA会降低Z型的比例,加入Mg++则会增加Z型的比例。精胺有利于修饰和未修饰多核苷酸中的Z型。SI核酸酶未检测到聚d(G-C)AAF双螺旋结构存在缺陷。
