[en] The conformation at the dA-dT junction in k-(AAAAATTTTT)₂ was investigated by using a variety of phase-sensitive two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance experiments at 500 MHz for detailed studies of the deoxyribose ring puckers. Conformational constraints were collected from two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectra recorded with short mixing times and from quantitative simulations of the cross-peaks in two-dimensional correlated spectra. Overall, the decamer duplex adopts a conformation of the B-DNA type, and for dA₄ and dA₅ the pseudorotation phase angle P is in the standard range 150-180 degree. The deoxyribose puckers for the other nucleotides deviate significantly from the standard B-DNA structure. Spectrum simulations assuming either static deviations from standard B-DNA or a simple two-state dynamic equilibrium between the C2'-endo and C3'-endo forms of the deoxyribose were used to analyze the experimental data. In agreement with recent papers on related duplexes containing (dA)_n tracts, the authors observed prominent nuclear Overhauser effects between adenine-2H and deoxyribose-1'H, which could be largely due to pronounced propeller twisting as observed in the crystal structures of (dA)_n-containing compounds
