Abstract
In this paper, a structure-function analysis of B-DNA self-fitting is reviewed in the light of recent oligonucleotide crystal structures. Their crystal packings provided a high-resolution view of B-DNA helices closely and specifically fitted by groove-backbone interaction, a natural and biologically relevant manner to assemble B-DNA helices. In revealing that new properties of the DNA molecule emerge during condensation, these crystallographic studies have pointed to the biological importance of DNA—DNA interactions.
