Y. Merle, MOLECULAR MODELING OF ACYCLIC ATACTIC OLIGONUCLEOTIDES IN A-DOUBLE-HELIX, Journal of trace and microprobe techniques, 13(3), 1995, pp. 339-340
Molecular modeling of an acyclic oligonucleotide analogue, associated
with its complementary natural oligonucleotide, shows that the atactic
configuration does not hinder the formation of an A double helix. Thi
s can explain the sharp transition at 24 degrees C of the double stran
d molecule (GlyA)(12),(dT)(12) prepared elsewhere.
