Base-base mismatches. Thermodynamics of double helix formation for dCA3XA3G + dCT3YT3G (X, Y = A,C,G,D

Received March 18, 1985. Accepted June 4, 1985.

Thermodynamic parameters for double strand formation have been measured for the sixteen double helices of the sequence dCA3XA3G·dCT3YT3G, with each of the bases A, C, G and T at the positions labelled X and Y. The results are analyzed in terms of nearest-neighbors and are compared with thermodynamic parameters for RNA secondary structure. At room temperature the sequence Formula is more stable than Formula and is similar in stability to Formula , Formula , Formula , Formula ; Formula and Formula are least stable. At higher temperatures the sequences containing a G·C base pair become more stable than those containing only A·T. All molecules containing mismatches are destabilized with respect to those with only Watson-Crick pairing, but there is a wide range of destabilization. At room temperature the most stable mismatches are those containing guanine (G·T, G·C, G·A); the least stable contain cytosine (C·A, C·C). At higher temperatures pyrimidine-pyrimidine mismatches become the least stable.
