Use of Nucleic Acid Analogs for the Study of Nucleic Acid Interactions by Shu-ichi Nakano, Masayuki Fujii, Naoki Sugimoto

“…Remarkably, they can adopt two different conformations responding to their interaction energies, and one of them is the stacking conformation of the nonpolar aromatic group causing the site-selective flipping of the opposite base in a DNA double helix. The base pair-mimic nucleosides can be used to study the mechanism responsible for the base stacking and the flipping of bases out of a nucleic acid duplex.…”
