Proton NMR line-width measurements are used to monitor theexchange of the thymine imino proton in poly [dA]-poly [dT] and in the alternating copolymer [d (AT)] 15-[d (AT)] 15. We employ the treatment by Benight et al.(1988) of diffusion effects in imino protonexchange to estimate catalytic rate constants and to extract apparent equilibrium constants for the interconversion between closed (nonex-changing) and solvent-accessible (exchangeable) states of the base pairs. The salt dependence of the spermidine-catalyzed imino proton exchange in poly [dA]-poly [dT] is qualitatively described by this theory, van’t Hoff analysis of the temperature dependence of the apparent equilibrium constants suggests that the binding of spermidine and hexaamminecobalt (III) lowers the energy difference between the nonexchanging and exchanging states of the AT base pair in both duplexes.] R> lyamines, as well as many other DNA binding molecules, stabilize the double helix against thermal denaturation (Mahler et al., 1961; Tabor, 1962). They may also promote alterations of the secondary structure of amenable sequences, the most profound being the transition between right-handed B-DNA and left-handed Z-DNA (Behe & Felsenfeld, 1981; Rich et al., 1984).
