Circular Dichroism (CD) spectra were collected as a function of sodium perchlorate concentration [NaClO4] for the set of DNA hairpins formed from the oligomer sequences d[(CG)3X4(CG)3] where X = A, T, G or C. Over the range in salt concentration from 0 to 4.0 M NaClO4, the CD spectra invert in a manner characteristic of the B to Z transition. A factor analysis routine is described and employed to determine the least number of basis spectra required to fit the measured spectra of each hairpin over the entire salt range examined. In every case, linear combinations of only two sub-spectra fit the experimental spectra of the hairpins with greater than 98% accuracy, indicating the spectrally monitored structural transitions are two-state. From the relative weights of the individual sub-spectra, B-Z transition curves are constructed. The transitions are analyzed in terms of a simple two-state equilibrium model which yields an evaluation of the transition free-energy, delta GB-Z, as a function of NaClO4 concentration. At 1.0 M NaClO4 and 21 degrees C, delta GB-Z = 5.4, 4.9, 3.6 and 2.3 kcal/mole for the G4, T4, A4 and C4 loop hairpins, respectively.
