The Stability of the B Conformation in Wet-spun Films of CaDNA: A Raman Study as a Function of Water Content

Abstract [en]

Raman spectra from 600 to 1150 cm(-1) have been collected from wet-spun films of highly oriented CaDNA as a function of relative humidity (rh). Particular attention was paid to the Raman modes at 834 and 807 cm(-1); the presence of these modes indicates that the DNA backbone is in the B or A conformations. Though the B conformation is usually found only under conditions of high hydration in such wet-spun films, CaDNA is found to remain in the B conformation down to 75% rh. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that intermolecular bonds in ordered samples of DNA are critical for the stabilization of the A conformation of DNA.
