Received April 26, 1984. Accepted June 1, 1984.

Righ performance liquid chromatography analysis of imidazole open ring 7-methylguanine, 2–6 diamino-4-hydroxy-5N-methyl-formamidopyrimidine (rom7G) showed two well-separated peaks (fI and fII) of the same magnitude. Rechromatography of each isolated component indicated that they are slowly interconverted to give a 1:1 mixture. NMR analysis demonstrated that the two species observed on reversed phase HPLC are rotational isomers. Thermodynamic measurements strongly suggested that the equilibrium can be assigned to rotation around the N-methyl fortnamido bond. The two species, fI and fII, separated by HPLC were identified as rotamers E and Z, respectively. The structures of fI and fII were also determined.

A polynucleotide containing rom7G was obtained by alkaline treatment of poly(dGC) containing 7-methylciuanine. In order to study its structure within the polynucleotide, rom7G was enzymatically excized by E.coli rom7G glycosylase. The analysis of the products released by the enzyme showed a 1:4 mixture of the two rotamers favoring the Z form (fII).
