✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Conformational analysis of antiparallel double‐helical polynucleotides with Watson‐Crick base pairing was reduced to a four‐dimensional problem using original mathematical methods. In the four‐dimensional conformational space the family of structures, characterized by the base‐pair stacking with the most stable conformations in water solution as well as in the solid state, was localized. For the C′~2~‐endo sugar pucker, both right‐handed and left‐handed structures were found; right‐handed structures only, however, seem to be allowed for the C′~3~‐endo pucker, the only possible one for ribonucleotides with base stacking.

## Abstract The adsorption of single‐stranded polynucleotides and double‐helical DNA on the dropping mercury electrode has been studied with the aid of Breyer's alternating current (a.c.) polarography. Our results indicate that all three constituents of polynucleotides (residues of bases, sugar, an

The conformational freedom of amino acid side chains is strongly reduced when the side chains occur on an a-helix. A quantitative evaluation of this freedom has been carried out by means of conformational energy computations for all naturally occurring amino acids and for a-aminobutyric acid when th
