Abstract
Examination of structures of DNA duplexes (A-, B-, and Z-DNA) showed a positive correlation between the pseudorotational phase angle P and the torsion angle δH (H4'-C4'-C3'-H3'). Such a P - δH plot reflects the structural features of the three types of DNA duplexes. Since the δH torsion angle can be measured by nuclear magnetic resonance, the linear correlation between P and δH provides a useful method for predicting the sugar pucker of nucleosides and nucleic acids.
