Crystal structures of (A) FHNA and (B) Ara-FHNA in modified A-form DNA decamers (PDB IDs 3Q61 and 3SD8, respectively) [221]. Unlike the trans-diaxial orientation of the fluorine in FHNA, the equatorial orientation of fluorine in Ara-FHNA pushes away the 3'-adjacent nucleotide (dashed lines) and causes local unstacking of bases.
