[Localization of water in DNA molecules by the difference Fourier-synthesis method].
Coordinates of water molecules for B-form of DNA (19 molecules) were determined by the methods of Fourier- and difference Fourier-synthesis. There was shown the strong hydration of the major groove in comparison with the minor one; and one may suppose the different hydration mechanisms for two grooves. There was found water following symmetry of DNA itself and water transforming by the symmetry of cell. Some assumption were made on the different functional properties of grooves of DNA in connection with hydration and also on the character of water dynamics.
