pubmed:abstractText
Analogs of alternating purine-pyrimidine DNA polymers such as poly(dA-dT)-poly(dA-dT) can be made with phosphorothioate groups in the DNA backbone. A phosphorothioate diester at the 5'-purine-pyrimidine-3' step causes a significant lowering of the polymer's melting temperature compared to a phosphorothioate diester at the 5'-pyrimidine-purine-3' step. This may occur because sulfur substitution increases anionic charge density in the DNA minor groove and 5'-purine-pyrimidine-3' steps narrow the minor groove. The ability to modulate charge density in the DNA backbone via sulfur substitution should prove useful in studies of sequence-dependent conformational changes in DNA.
