Abstract

Random coil phosphorus chemical shift has been studied using 16 17-nucleotide DNA sequences. Due to the presence of residual base stacking in these sequences, the temperature and sequence effects were investigated at 50 and 55 °C. The phosphorus chemical shifts of random coil DNA sequences have been found to be independent of temperature. Sequence effect analysis shows that the phosphorus chemical shift of a nucleotide in a random coil DNA sequence depends on both its 5′- and 3′-nearest neighbors. A trimer model has been used to establish the random coil 31P chemical shift prediction protocol which shows an accuracy of 0.02 ppm.
