Mc. Wahl et M. Sundaralingam, NEW CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF NUCLEIC-ACIDS AND THEIR COMPLEXES, Current opinion in structural biology, 5(3), 1995, pp. 282-295
In the past year, X-ray crystallographic studies of representatives of
all nucleic acid structural types have been reported. Among the most
interesting structures are the parallel DNA tetraplex formed by d(TGGG
GT), the four-stranded structure formed by d(CCCT) and a double drug b
ound side by side in an antiparallel orientation to the minor groove o
f a B-DNA. Certainly, the structure that has received most attention i
s that of the first complex of a ribozyme with an inhibitor DNA.
