As part of a study on the conformation of polynucleotides and nucleic acids the preferred conformations of the model conpound dimethyl phosphate are worked out using potential energy functions. In calculating the total potential energy associated with the conformation, nonbonded, torsional, and elec

## Abstract The heat capacities of the singleโstranded and doubleโstranded forms of polyadenylic acid, polyuridylic acid, and poly(uridylic and adenylic acid) were determined with a drop heat capacity calorimeter. In addition, the temperature dependence of the apparent partial heat capacity (ฯ__Cp_
In this paper, the preferred conformations of the bases with respect to the sugar in various base-sugar units are worked out using criteria of potential energy. The van der Waals type of intercations between nonbonded atoms is represented by a 6-12 function and the electrostatic interactions have be
The potential energy calculations on the sugar-phosphate unit for different puckerings of the sugar are reported in this paper. The results obtained here essentially confirm our earlier predictions made by using criteria of contact distances (hard-sphere potential) and are also supported by observed
## Abstract Mixtures of the diastereomers of 2,2,3,5,6โpentamethylheptane were prepared in two ways, either starting with compounds of (3__R__)โconfiguration, or from compounds of (5__R__)โconfiguration. Comparison of the GC. and optical rotatory power of the fractions of these two mixtures permitt
