## Abstract The results of a CNDO/2 all‐valence electron crystal orbital study are reported for the sugar‐phosphate chain of DNA. The valence and conduction bandwidths are found to be large enough to make electronic delocalization through this backbone possible. Different mechanisms for charge carr
The DNA backbone geometry was analyzed for 96 crystal structures of oligodeoxynucleotides. The ranges and mean values of the torsion angles for the observed subclasses of the A-, B-, and Z-DNA conformational types were determined by analyzing distributions of the torsion angles and scattergrams rela
## Abstract Four isomers of the monomer of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) were derived from (2__S__,4__R__)‐4‐hydroxyproline; they had different stereochemistries at the C^2^ and C^4^ positions in the pyrrolidine ring. These different backbone conformations corresponding to four different stereochemist
