Description
Experimental Technique/Method:X-RAY DIFFRACTION
Resolution:0.83
Classification:DNA
Release Date:2000-04-04
Deposition Date:1999-12-27
Revision Date:2008-04-27#2011-07-13
Molecular Weight:6599.41
Macromolecule Type:DNA
Residue Count:20
Atom Site Count:473
DOI:10.2210/pdb1dpl/pdb
Abstract:
We have determined single crystal structures of an A-DNA decamer and a B-DNA dodecamer at 0.83 and 0.95 A, respectively. The resolution of the former is the highest reported thus far for any right-handed nucleic acid duplex and the quality of the diffraction data allowed determination of the structure with direct methods. The structures reveal unprecedented details of DNA fine structure and hydration; in particular, we have reexamined the overall hydration of A- and B-form DNA, the distribution of water around phosphate groups, and features of the water structure that may underlie the B to A transition.
