Revised Manuscript Received June 12, 1986 abstract: Pure absorption phase proton two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect (2D NOE) spectra at 500 MHz have been obtained for [d (5'ATATATATAT3')] 2 in deuterium oxide solution at several mixing times. The 100 nonexchangeable proton resonances have been assigned. Theexperimental 2D NOE spectra were compared with theoretical spectra calculated by using the complete relaxationmatrix analysis method [Keepers, J. W., & James, T. L.(1984) J. Magn. Reson. 57, 404-426] and X-ray diffraction determined molecular coordinates of A, B, alternating B, left-handed B, C, D, and wrinkled D forms of DNA and of energy-minimized structures calculated from themost promising X-ray crystal structures by using the molecular mechanics program amber, in which all hydrogens, counterions, and hydration water molecules were included. The analysis of all features of the 2D NOE spectra played an important role in extracting the promising structures, and it was concluded that the wrinkled D form yields the best fit for the 2D NOE data of the AT decamer. The molecular mechanics calculation indicated that thismodel structure, whose minor groove is comparatively deep and narrow, may be energetically more stable than the B form for alternating d (AT) DNA. Interesting features of thestructure include possible intra-and interchain sugar-phosphate attractions and a hydration tunnel inside the minor groove capable of accommodating three types of water molecules that aidin helixstabilization via hydrogen bonding. Counterions (sodium) serve to reduce interchain phosphate-phosphate repulsiveeffects. major goal for many years has been the determination of molecular structures innoncrystalline environments.
