Specific interactions between proteins and DNA are fundamental to many biological
processes. In this review, we provide a revised view of protein-DNA interactions that …

Conspectus Nucleic acids typically form a double helix structure through Watson–Crick base-
pairing. In contrast, non-Watson–Crick base pairs can form other three-dimensional …

The DNA fragment d (CpGpCpGpCpG) crystallises as a left-handed double helical molecule
with Watson–Crick base pairs and an antiparallel organisation of the sugar phosphate …

The base pairs in double helical nucleic acids have been compared to see how they can be
recognized by proteins. We conclude that a single hydrogen bond is inadequate for uniquely …

Curves+, a revised version of the Curves software for analyzing the conformation of nucleic
acid structures, is now available as a web server. This version, which can be freely accessed …

The crystal structure of sodium adenylyl-3′, 5′-uridine (ApU) hexahydrate has been
determined by X-ray diffraction procedures and refined to an R factor of 0.057. ApU …

The crystal structure of sodium guanylyl-3′, 5′-cytidine (GpC) nonahydrate has been
determined by X-ray diffraction procedures and refined to an R value of 0.054. GpC …

We describe a 1.2 Å X-ray structure of a double-stranded B-DNA dodecamer (the Dickerson
Dodecamer, DDD,[d (CGCGAATTCGCG)] 2) associated with a cytotoxic platinum (II) …

The crystal structure of a complex containing deoxy CpG and a terpyridine platinum
compound (TPH) shows a DNA double helical fragment with TPH intercalated between two …

The designing of DNA intercalating drugs with high DNA affinity in the series of ellipticine
has led to a new antitumoral agent, 9-hydroxyellipticine, which has a high DNA affinity, a …
