The fine conformational subtleties of DNA structure modulate many fundamental cellular processes including gene activation/repression, cellular division, and DNA repair. Most of these cellular processes rely on the conformational heterogeneity of spe

We demonstrate that DNA conformation is sensitive to cationic environment. We describe a high resolution (1.2 A) potassium form of CGCGAATTCGCG, determined from crystals grown in the presence of spermine and magnesium, along with potassium. The struc

The structure and dynamics of the grooves of DNA are of immense importance for recognition of DNA by proteins and small molecules as well as for the packaging of DNA into nucleosomes and viral particles. Although there is general agreement that the m

We describe a very accurate addition (called structure X here) to the B-DNA dodecamer family of X-ray structures. Our results confirm the observation of Drew and Dickerson [(1981) J. Mol. Biol. 151, 535-556] that the spine of hydration in AT tract DN

An understanding of DNA−ligand interactions at the molecular level is important for the design of new drugs and probes that can recognize specific DNA sequences and structural motifs. Interestingly, determining the mode-of-binding of a DNA ligand i

Determining the mode-of-binding of a DNA ligand is not always straightforward. Here, we establish a scanning force microscopic assay for mode-of-binding that is (i) direct: lengths of individual DNA-ligand complexes are directly measured; (ii) rapid:

DNA intercalators are planar molecules that insert between the base pairs of duplex DNA. Intercalation into DNA necessarily results in changes in DNA conformation, separating base pairs along the helical axis; thus, intercalators are of great importa

Recent X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy and molecular mechanics results suggest that monovalent cations selectively partition into the minor groove of AT-tracts in DNA. These observations are consistent with DNA deformation by electrostatic collap

Nucleic acid structure, stability, and reactivity are governed substantially by cations. We propose that magnesium and other biological inorganic ions unstack bases of DNA and RNA. This unstacking function of cations opposes their previously accepted

The potassium form of d(CGCGAATTCGCG) solved by X-ray diffraction to 1.75 A resolution indicates that monovalent cations penetrate the primary and secondary layers of the "spine of hydration". Both the sodium [Shui, X., McFail-Isom, L., Hu, G. G., an
