    Raman spectroscopy reveals distinct structural differences in synthetic DNA, including B, Z, and A forms, influenced by base sequence and salt conditions. These findings provide insights into DNA conformation and its variations.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Molecular Biology
    • Spectroscopy

    Background:

    • Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) exists in various conformations (e.g., A, B, Z forms) crucial for its biological functions.
    • Understanding these conformational changes is vital for comprehending DNA-protein interactions and genetic regulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate conformational differences in synthetic polydeoxyribonucleotide duplexes using Raman spectroscopy.
    • To analyze the impact of base sequence and salt concentration on DNA structure in aqueous solutions.

    Main Methods:

    • Raman spectroscopy was employed to analyze six synthetic polydeoxyribonucleotide duplexes.
    • Experiments were conducted in aqueous solutions with varying salt and nucleotide concentrations.

    Main Results:

    • Distinct Raman spectral signatures identified conformational variations between B and Z forms of poly[d(G-C)] X poly[d(G-C)].
    • Differences were observed between B forms of poly[d(G-C)] X poly[d(G-C)] and poly[d(G-m5C)] X poly[d(G-m5C)].
    • Conformational distinctions were noted between A and B forms of poly(dG) X poly(dC), B and "CsF" forms of poly[d(A-T)] X poly[d(A-T)], B forms of poly[d(A-U)] X poly[d(A-U)] and poly[d(A-T)] X poly[d(A-T)], and low- and high-salt forms of poly(dA) X poly(dT).
    • Raman spectra of calf-thymus DNA in solution were compared to its fiber forms (A, B, C).

    Conclusions:

    • Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool for differentiating DNA conformations.
    • Base sequence and salt concentration significantly influence DNA structural forms.
    • The study provides a detailed spectroscopic basis for understanding DNA structural polymorphism.
