Shown here is a simple twist based on the C1′ atoms for the middle eight basepairs of the duplexes starting in anti-anti mismatch conformations. (A1) DNA-(CAG)4; (A2) DNA-(GAC)4; (B1) RNA-(CAG)4; and (B2) RNA-(GAC)4. Green bars show the initial value of ideal B-DNA (36°) and ideal A-RNA (31.5°). Blue bars show the final average values taken from the final 200 ns of the 1 μs simulations. To see this figure in color, go online.
