Abstract
Stretches of parallel-stranded (ps) double-helical DNA can arise within antiparallel-stranded (aps) Watson-Crick DNA in looped structures or in the presence of sequence mismatches. Here we studied an effect of a pyrimidinone-G (PG) base pair on the stability and conformation of the ps DNA to explore whether P is useful as a structural probe.
