✦ Synopsis

Working within the restrictions of a model, we have calculated the circular dichroism of the dinucleoside phosphates ApA, CpC, ApC, and CpA for various conformations. Comparing the calculated curves with those measured in aqueous solution we find agreement for ( 1 ) ApA as a right-handed helix with both bases either as in B-form DNA, or else rotated 180" around the glycosidic bond, ( 2 ) CpC as the right-handed conformation with both bases as in DNA, ( 3 ) ApC as either the right-handed conformation wiLh both bases as in DNA, or else as a left-handed helix with both bases rotated 180", and ( 4 )

CpA as either a left-handed helix with both bases as in a left-handed DNA, or else in the right-handed conformation with both bases rotated 180'. In addition, we have investigated circular dichroism as a measure of unstacking. We find that opening the bases to a 90' total angle (base planes perpendicular) reduces the intensity of the calculated bands to 20% of their original value. Further, we find that allowing the sliding of one base past the other does not lead to a temperature dependence consistent with experiment.

## Abstract The intensities of the CD bands at about 275 and 190 nm were monitored for DNAs with different G + C contents as a function of temperature. The 190‐nm bands showed a nearly complete and cooperative collapse on melting of the DNA, demonstrating that the CD arises from base–base interacti
