Previous studies of 25Mg'+ in DNA solution have been confined to rather high DNA concentrations and ratios of Mg to DNA. In Figure 1 we show an experimental spectrum at 18.4 MHz for a room temperature sample containing 15.8 mM DNA phosphate, 20 mM Na', and 8 m M MgClz. In agreement with previous work, the spectrum is distinctly non-Lorentzian. For such a non-Lorentzian lineshape, the line width at half-height does not have a simple physical interpretation. Nonetheless, this nmr parameter provides a simple means for qualitatively comparing the effects of competitive cation titrations on the local environments sampled by the 25Mg'+ cation. For comparison with our own work, we have reexamined some of the line-width data that was previously reported by Bryant and co-~ orkers.'~"~ These workers initially reported titration data from two separate experiments. 16 In the first experiment, Mg-DNA was titrated with MgC1'. The second experiment involved the dilution of Mg-DNA into MgClz solution. Combining the two experiments shows that the'5Mg line width extrapolates, at high ratios of Mg/DNA to a modest value of the 25Mg line width (around 10 Hz). In later work, Rose et al. 17 also performed titrations of Mg-DNA with CaClz. At the highest ratios of CaClz added, the" Mg line width seems to level off at around 30 Hz. It was concluded that Mg'+ appears to bind to specific locations on the DNA where it cannot be displaced by Ca'+.If we replot the Ca2+/'5Mg'+ competition data of Rose et al. 17 as line width vs the ratio of DNA phosphate to total divalent cation, then the curve that we obtain is indistinguishable from the results of the MgCl,-only titration experiment cited above of Rose et a1. 16 Deviation of the Mg only curve from the Mg/Ca competition curve occurs only for the points corresponding to dilution of Mg-DNA into MgC1'solution. Consequently, to fairly argue that Mg2+ and Ca'+ compete differently for binding to DNA, one would ideally also perform the experiment of diluting Mg-DNA into CaC1'solution while observing the'5Mg nucleus. In practice, this is an impossible experiment to perform, for reasons of sensitivity, even on currently available instrumentation.
