Department of Chemistry and Institute of Molecular Biology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403 Received November 20, 1986; Revised Manuscript Received March 17, 1987 abstract: A laser Raman study has been made on the conformation of a series of self-complementary octameric deoxynucleotides that contain all four canonical deoxynucleotide bases [guanine (G), cytosine (C), adenine (A), and thymine (T)] in order to determine which sequences will crystallize in the Z form and which sequences will go into the Z form in aqueous solution at high salt concentrations (4-6 M NaCl). All four octadeoxynucleotides, d (TGCGCGCA)(I), d (CACGCGTG)(II), d (CGTGCACG)(III), and d (CGCATGCG)(IV), have been crystallized from low-salt solutions. The Raman spectra of microcrystals show that I, II, and IV crystallize in a rigorous Z form while III crystallizes in the B form. Sequences I and II go into a Z form in 4-6 M NaCl solution at 0 C while sequences III and IV remain in the B form in 6 M salt. There are substantial differences in the Raman spectra of oligonucleotides in the Z form found in the crystal and in high-salt solutions. The Raman spectra of the Z forms in 6 M NaCl solution at 0 C are not linear combinations of the Raman spectra of the complete Z form in the crystal and the complete B form in low-salt solutions. The terminal residues of these oligomers do not appear to be in a strict Z form. A detailed analysis of the ring puckers and syn/anti conformation for all of the residues both in solution and in the crystal has been made. From these data together with data found in recent literature, some simple rules are suggested that may prove useful for predicting which DNA sequences containing all four canonical bases will go into the Z form in aqueous solution under high-salt conditions. The tendency of these four sequences to go into the Zform may be ranked I> II> IV> III.
