Another method for specifying furanose ring puckering.

چکیده
A set of pseudorotation coordinates is proposed for characterizing the puckering of the furanose ring. These are defined from the curvilinear displacements of the C1' and C4' atoms from the planar conformation. The present coordinates have some practical advantages over the ones currently used.

Furthermore, their bond angles lie in the...

We compare the duplex stabilizing properties of 2'-fluorinated nucleic acid analogues with furanose and non-furanose ring systems and dissect the relative contributions of hydration, sugar conformation, and fluorine configuration toward the overall T(m) value. We find that the stabilization imparted by fluorine substitution is additive over that obtained by restricting the conformation of the s...
متن کاملPuckering Coordinates of Monocyclic Rings by Triangular Decomposition
We describe a new method of describing the pucker of an N-member monocyclic ring using N - 3 parameters. To accomplish this, three ring atoms define a reference plane, and the remainder of the ring is decomposed into triangular flaps. The angle of incidence for each flap upon the reference plane is then measured. The combination of these angles is characteristic of the ring's pucker. This pucke...
متن کاملExtreme Conformational Flexibilitv of the Furanose
Consistent force field caiculations have been used to calculate the variation of energy along the pseudorotationai paths of ribose and deoxyribose rings. This energy changes by only 10.5 kcalimol as the ring pucker changes from C3’-endo to C2’-endo. Therefore, the torsion angle 4’ of the sugar-phosphate backbone of nucleic acids is more flexible than a normal C-C single-bond torsion angle and c...
