Figure 1.
NMR spectra of the propyne-modified DNA·RNA hybrid duplex. Spectra were recorded at 303 K and 600 MHz as described in the Materials and Methods. (A) NOESY spectrum recorded with a mixing time of 250 ms. The base-H1′ region is shown, with connectivities of the DNA and RNA strands. Red, RNA purine strand; cyan, modified DNA pyrimidine strand; green, Ade H2 intra and cross-strand NOEs. (B) Double quantum filtered COSY spectrum of the H1′ to H2′/H2” region showing the coupling patterns for the deoxyriboses. The acquisition time in t2 was 0.68 s.
