Abstract
The unnatural oligonucleotide alpha-d(TCTAAAC) was synthesized and was found more resistant towards endonucleases than its beta-analog. 2D-NMR experiments allowed the assignment of all non-exchangeable aromatic and sugar protons except for the overlapping 5' -5" resonances, as well as the exchangeable imino protons of the parallel hybrid duplex alpha-d (TCTAAAC)-beta-d(AGATTTG). NMR studies show that the strength of the association between the alpha-strand and the beta parallel strand is equivalent to that between their anti-parallel complementary beta-analogs beta-d(CAAATCT) and beta-d(AGATTTG). NOE data provide evidence that both duplexes form stable right-helical duplexes with an anti-conformation on the glycosyl linkages and a Watson-Crick pairing. NOESY and COSY spectra allowed us to determine that alpha and beta deoxyriboses adopt a 3' -exo conformation.Keywords
