    Summary

    The study reveals that dinucleoside phosphates (DNP) exist in various conformations, including non-canonical forms. Nucleotide sequence dictates the specific non-canonical structures, a phenomenon termed "conformational encoding".

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biophysics
    • Structural Biology
    • Nucleic Acid Chemistry

    Context:

    • Investigating the solution structure of dinucleoside phosphates (DNP) is crucial for understanding DNA/RNA dynamics.
    • Spin-lattice relaxation rates provide insights into molecular motion and conformation.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the conformational composition of ApA, ApC, CpA, and CpC in D2O at pH 7.
    • To correlate experimental data with computational modeling of DNP structures.

    Summary:

    • Measured temperature dependence of spin-lattice relaxation rates for specific dinucleoside phosphates.
    • Computed potential closed conformers using atom-atom potential methods.
    • Identified both canonical and non-canonical right- and left-handed conformers in solution, with non-canonical forms dependent on nucleotide sequence.

    Impact:

    • Introduces the concept of "conformational encoding," where nucleotide sequence dictates unique non-canonical conformations.
    • Suggests that spatial organization of polynucleotides is sequence-dependent.
    • Provides a foundation for understanding sequence-specific structural variations in nucleic acids.
