Circular dlchroism (CD) and UV absorption data qhowed that poly[d(G-C)] (at 0.09M NaCl, 0.01M Na+(phosphate), 20°C) underwent two conformatlonal transitions upon lowering of the pH by the addition of HC1. The first transition was complete at about pH 3.0. The second transition was complete upon lowering the pH to 2.6 or upon raising the tenperature, at pH 3.0, to about 40°C. There was no indication of denaturation during either transition. The CD spectrun for the second acid conformation had large CD bands including a positive one at 288nm, a characteristic associated with C-CT+base-pairs. Electron microscopy showed no significant formation of condensed supra-molecular aggregates corresponding to the first or second acid forms of poly-[d(G-C)]. On the basis of spectral data, electron microscopy, and proton-uptake measurements, we propose models for the secondary structures that poly[d(G-C)] adopts in its two acid conformations.
