title: Conformational rigidity introduced by 2',5'-phosphodiester links in DNA.
abstract: Conformational properties of 2',5'-linked 3'-deoxyribonucleotides have been compared with their natural isomer using CD spectroscopy. It is inferred from the salt induced titration curves that the 2',5'-linked-3'deoxyribonucleotides have rigid phosphodiester backbone.
