## Abstract We present evidence for structures of two ordered forms of polyxanthylic acid based on ir spectroscopy, pH titrations, and thermal transitions. Over the pH range ∼6–9.5, the structure is a four‐stranded helix with alkali metal ions specifically complexed in the central channel. These in

Abstract
5′‐8NH~2~GMP forms an ordered structure in moderately acid (p__D__ 4.7) solution. We propose for this ordered form a novel hemiprotonated G·G structure with a twofold rotation axis and three hydrogen bonds between each pair of guanine residues. Gel formation does not occur with this nucleotide in either neutral or acid solution. In neutral solution 5′‐8NH~2~GMP also forms a regular, ordered structure, quite different from the acid form and similar to that formed by 5′‐GMP under the same neutral conditions. We suggest that this ordered structure consists of a regularly stacked array of planar tetramers, similar to that proposed for 3′‐GMP at pH 5.^2^
