Abstract
A P-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of the interactions betw een oligonucleotides containing the (6-4) photoproduct and the Fab fra gments of monoclonal antibodies (64M3 and 64M5) recognizing the (6-4) photoproduct is reported. The P-31 chemical shift data indicate that b ackbone conformation of (6-4) adduct is affected by the presence of fl anking oligodeoxynucleotides, and (6-4) adducts with different backbon e conformations are accommodated in the antigen binding sites of these antibodies. It was also revealed that epitopes for these antibodies c onsist of not only the (6-4) adduct but the flanking di- or tri-deoxyn ucleotides on both the 5' and 3' sides as well.
