Mg2+ in the major groove modulates B-DNA structure and dynamics.
This study investigates the effect of Mg(2+) bound to the DNA major groove on DNA structure and dynamics. The analysis of a comprehensive dataset of B-DNA crystallographic structures shows that divalent cations are preferentially located in the DNA major groove where they interact with successive ba...
