The synthesis of the tridecadeoxynucleotide d(CGm5CGCGxACATGT), where x is the 1-cyano-2-deoxy-beta-D-erythropentofuranose, is described. The NMR, IR, CD studies at various salt concentrations and temperatures of this oligomer show that the B and Z conformations are simultaneously present in the same short DNA fragment. A single apurinic residue is sufficient for the coexistence of the B and Z helices on this oligomer.
