Popis: The rate constants of 1H----3H exchange between water and C8H-groups of purinic residues of alternating polynucleotides: poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] (I), poly[d(G-C)].poly[d(G-C)] (II), poly[d(A-C)].poly[d(G-T)] (III) and homopolynucleotides: poly(dA).poly(dt) (IV), poly(dG).poly(dC) (V), as well as DNA E. coli, was determined in 0.15 M NaCl at 25 degrees C. The retardation of exchange observed at these conditions (compared to that of the B-form DNA) is in agreement with the model of B-alternating structure for the (I) and is attributed to the co-existence of B- and A-conformers for the (V) in solution. Absence of distinguishable differences in exchange rate constants for purinic residues of the (II), (III) and (IV) (compared to that of the B-form DNA) evidences that conformations of these polynucleotides in solution are similar to "canonical" B-form DNA and don't correlate with the model of "heteronomous" DNA which was proposed for (IV).
