Determining the origin of the stabilization of DNA by 5-aminopropynylation of pyrimidines.

DNA duplexes are stabilized by aminopropynyl modification of pyrimidines at the 5 position. A combination of thermodynamic analyses as a function of ionic strength, NMR, and molecular modeling has been applied to determine the origin of the stabilization. UV melting studies of a dodecamer bearing on...
