Ultraviolet absorbance and circular dichroism analysis of DNA oligomers containing adenine tracts

"A-tract" is defined as phased runs of at least four consecutive adenines, i.e. (dA)n-(dT)n , where n ≥ 4. The B*-form of DNA characteristic of A-tracts is distinct from the canonical B-DNA, with high base propeller twist and a narrower minor groove. The B*-form of DNA was examined usin...
