Recently, we reported that T-T mismatches can specifically recognize Hg-II (T-Hg-II-T pair formation). In order to understand the properties of the T-Hg-II-T pair, we recorded NMR spectra for a DNA duplex, d(CGCGTTGTCC) center dot d(GGACTTCGCG), with two successive T-T mismatches (Hg-II-binding sites). We assigned H-1 resonances for mercury-free and di-mercurated duplexes, and performed titration experiments with Hg-II by using 1D H-1 NMR spectra. Because of the above mentioned assignments, we could confirm the existence of mono-mercurated species, because individual components gave independent NMR signals in the titration spectra.
