Solution conformation of a parallel DNA triple helix with 5' and 3' triplex-duplex junctions.

BACKGROUND: Polypurine x polypyrimidine sequences of DNA can form parallel triple helices via Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds with a third DNA strand that is complementary to the purine strand. The triplex prevents transcription and could therefore potentially be used to regulate specific genes. The determ...
