The electronic structure of d(GG).d(CC), d(CG)2, d(GC)2 which are stacked base pairs in the DNA double helix, are elucidated for both A and B conformations in detail by DV-X alpha cluster calculations. These three DNA double helix fragments are contracted from the same bases, G and C, but the electronic structures of the fragments for both A and B conformations are different from each other characteristically. There are some delicate differences in the admixture of the orbital components and the overlap populations of intra- and inter- strand stacked bases among the stacking isomers. On the other hand, the electronic states of sugars differ in the 5'-3' direction, but are not almost dependent on stacked base pairs.
The oligonucleotides C(pC)n, n = 4, 5, 6, 7, are efficient templates for the oligomerization of guanosine-5'-phospho-2-methylimidazole (2-MeImpG). They yield oligomeric products that are substantially less regiospecific than those obtained on polycytidylate [poly(C)]. The overall distributions of products obtained on oligo(C)s are generally similar to those of products obtained on oligodeoxycytidylates [oligo(dC)s], but there are substantial differences in the ratios of isomers. The 3'-5'-linked dinucleoside monophosphate GpG efficiently initiates oligomer formation with 2-MeImpG on oligo(C) templates. The pattern of products obtained by chain extension parallels closely that of products obtained directly from 2-MeImpG, except that the former products lack the 5'-terminal phosphate group.
