Complete assignment of the deoxyribose 5'/5" proton resonances of the EcoRI DNA sequence using isotropic mixing.
Using two-dimensional isotropic mixing spectroscopy all 5'/5" proton resonances of the EcoRI restriction site DNA dodecamer [d(CGCGAATTCGCG)]2 have been assigned. This completes the previous assignments of 1'H to 4'H resonances of the deoxyribose spin systems (Hare et al., 1983). With mixing times of up to 500 ms, many of these resonances showed connectivities of 5'/5" protons in the two-dimensional isotropic mixing spectrum. Relying only on through-bond connectivities makes these assignments independent of assumptions about the conformation of the DNA oligonucleotide. The assignment of the 5'H/5"H resonances will allow the interpretation of intra- and interresidue NOEs to these protons, providing information about the DNA backbone conformation.
