TY - JOUR AU1 - Nelson, Hillary C. M. AU2 - Finch, John T. AU3 - Luisi, Bonaventura F. AU4 - Klug, Aaron AB - Poly (dA)·poly (dT) has unusual properties in that it cannot associate into nucleosomes and short, phased runs of it cause DNA bending. The crystal structure of a B-type DNA dodecamer containing a homopolymeric run of six A·T base pairs shows that this region possesses special structural features, including a system of bifurcated hydrogen bonds, which explains some of the properties of this simple homopolymer.
