Wewished to gain greater insightinto themechanism of this stabilization by ascertaining its effect on the dynamics of base opening and closing reactions, as measured by NMR. Since the binding of spermidine (3+) is influenced by salt, andsince spermidine may act as a base catalyst in proton exchange reactions, we have undertaken a study of salt and base catalyst effects on the imino proton exchange kinetics of a model oligomeric DNA. The selective longitudinal NMR relaxation rates of the hydrogen-bonded imino protons of the self-complementary octadeoxyribonucleotide d (GGAATTCC) monitor therate of the base-catalyzed chemical exchange of these protons with solvent water. The exchange rates thus obtained provide a sensitive measure of the base-pair opening reactions of the DNA duplex. Under conditions of low pH and no added base catalyst, the NMR relaxation rates allow the determination of kd, the rate constant for the dissociation of the octameric duplex into single strands. Titration with the base catalyst tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane allows the determination of kop, the rate constant for the localized opening of individual base pairs, prior to dissociation. A significant Na+ con-centration dependence is found for kd. From an analysis of this dependence, it is determined that 0.6±0.1 sodium ion is released during the dissociationevent. The activation energy for helix dissociation (200±5 kJ/mol) is not dependent on the sodium ion concentration, indicating that the dissociation is entropically driven by the release of bound sodium ions. In agreement with previous results, no measurable salt dependence is found for kop, which is equal to about 100 s-1 at 25 C. Under low-salt conditions, the trivalent cation spermidine decreases the rate of helix dissociation, again without affecting the activation energy for this process. Diprotonated spermidine (2+) acts as an extremely effective catalyst of iminoproton exchange.^) ur current understanding of the details of DNA conformation, dynamics, and interactions with proteins and small molecules has grown in concert with the development of an efficient technology for producing milligram quantities of highly pure, defined-sequence oligodeoxynucleotides. Because individual proton resonances may be studied, and since cross-relaxation effects are much less pronounced than in polymeric DNA, NMR studies of oligonucleotides have provided much previously inaccessible information concerningthe solution structure and dynamics of double-helical DNA (Patel et al., 1982c; Kearns, 1984; Wemmer & Reid, 1985). Ions have many important effects on the behavior of nucleic acids. Simple salts raise the thermal melting temperature of double-helical DNA and affect the binding of ligands (Record et al., 1981). Polyamines such as spermidine and spermine have these general effects (Bloomfield & Wilson, 1981) and also influence the conformation of nucleic acids, inducing bending of double-helical regions of tRNA (Quigley et al., 1978), transition to the left-handed Z form of DNA (Rich et al., 1984; Behe & Felsenfeld, 1981), and condensation of DNA into compact toroidal structures (Gosule & Schellman, 1976; Wilson & Bloomfield, 1979). In an attempt to understand how these effects may be produced at the molecular level, we have undertaken an investigation by NMRof salt and sper-midine effects on the base-pairing …
