One- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments were used to study the conformation of the DNA hexadecanucleotide d(CACGTGTGTGCGTGCA) in aqueous solution. NMR spectra were recorded for the compound in D2O and in H2O/D2O (90/10) over the temperature range 1 degree C-60 degrees C. Assignments of imino proton resonances and of non-exchangeable proton resonances (except for some H4', H5' and H5" resonances) are given. The 1H-NMR spectra indicate that below about 20 degrees C, the compound exists as a single monomolecular species. Between 20 degrees C and 55 degrees C the oligonucleotide occurs as a mixture of structures in fast exchange on the NMR time scale, except for the temperature region 30 degrees - 34 degrees C, where substantial line broadening indicates intermediate exchange; above 60 degrees C the single strand predominates. The imino proton spectra, chemical shift values, and scalar coupling and NOE data reveal that the monomeric form, which is exclusively present below 20 degrees C, consists of a structure with a B-DNA double helix region of six base pairs, both ends of which are closed by hairpin loops of only two nucleotides, giving the molecule a dumbbell-like structure: [sequence: see text].
