We report below on features of the three-dimensional structure of the d(C-G-T-G-A-A-T-T-C-G-C-G) self-complementary duplex (designated 12-mer GT) containing symmetrical G X T mismatches in the interior of the helix. The majority of the base and sugar protons in the 12-mer GT duplex were assigned by two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect (NOESY) spectra in H2O and D2O solution. A set of 92 short (less than 4.5-A) proton-proton distances defined by lower and upper bounds for one symmetrical half of the 12-mer GT duplex were estimated from NOESY data sets recorded as a function of mixing time. These experimental distances combined with nucleotide bond length parameters were embedded into Cartesian space; several trial structures were refined to minimize bond geometry and van der Waals and chirality error. Confidence in this approach is based on the similarity of the refined structures for the solution conformation of the 12-mer GT duplex. The G and T bases pair through two imino-carbonyl hydrogen bonds, and stacking is maintained between the G X T wobble pair and adjacent Watson-Crick G X C pairs. The experimental distance information is restricted to base and sugar protons, and hence structural features such as base pair overlap, glycosidic torsion angles, and sugar pucker are well-defined by this combination of NMR and distance geometry methods. By contrast, we are unable to define the torsion angles about the bonds C3'-O3'-P-O5'-C5'-C4' in the backbone of the nucleic acid.
