DNA motions consist of several components which couple, making their investigation difficult. This studydescribes an approach for obtaining dynamical information by EPR when spin-labeled nucleic acids are examined. The analysis is accomplished by implementing two motional models. The first model (ie, dynamic cylinder model) views the spin-labeled helix as a diffusing cylinder containing internal dynamics which are characterized by an order parameter. The second model (ie, base disk model) provides correlation times describing the diffusion of the spin-labeled base. In each model, the nitroxide motion consists of both global and internal contributions. Dynamic cylinder and base disk simulations of four duplexes containing nitroxides attached to thymidine by a two-atom tether (DUMTA)—(dT) 7DUMTA-(dT) 7-(dA) 15,[(dT) 7DUMTA (dT) 7] 2-(dA) 30,[(dT) 7DUMTA (dT) 7] 3-(dA) 45, and [(dT) 7DUMTA (dT) 7] m--(dA)„—demonstrate the useful application of this approach. From dynamiccylinder simulations, the order parameter for internalmotions is found to be independent of the helix length (S=0.32±0.01). Previous base disk simulations of a DNA 26mer and polymer labeled with a five-atom-tethered nitroxide seemed to indicate that z±was only sensitiveto internal dynamics. Results from base disk simulations of DUMTA-labeled DNA indicate that the perpendicular component of the base disk correlation time (r±=
