Thomas A. Early,* David R. Kearns,* Wolfgang Hillen,® and Robert D. Wells abstract: High-resolution (300-and 600-MHz) proton NMR spectra and 300-MHz relaxationdata on the ex-changeable imino protons of a 12 base pair (bp) restriction fragment are presented. Analysis of these results permits conclusions on the nature of internalmotions in this short DNA helix, the nature of the various interactions which are responsible for the observed relaxation rates, and the mechanism of opening of A* T base pairs. By combining information on the thermal stability and the chemical shifts of the reso-nances with rudimentary ring current shift calculations, all AT and GC resonances in the low-field spectrum can be identified and tentatively assigned to specific base pairs in the molecule. Spin-spin (R2) and spin-lattice (RJ relaxation rates of the low-field resonances have been measured at a number of temperatures by using the long-pulse method. The lowtemperature relaxation behavior of the low-field resonances can be accounted for theoretically in terms of a model in which the molecule is treated as a rigid rotor and in which the re-laxation is entirely attributed to proton-proton and proton-nitrogen dipolar interactions. At 21 C, we find good quan-titative agreement between theory and experiment, and various
