Stability of XGCGCp, GCGCYp, and XGCGCYp helixes: an empirical estimate of the energetics of hydrogen bonds in nucleic acids
S M Freier et al. Biochemistry. 1986.
Abstract
The stabilizing effects of dangling ends and terminal base pairs on the core helix GCGC are reported. Enthalpy and entropy changes of helix formation were measured spectrophotometrically for AGCGCU, UGCGCA, GGCGCCp, CGCGCGp, and the corresponding pentamers XGCGCp and GCGCYp containing the GCGC core plus a dangling end. Each 5' dangling end increases helix stability at 37 degrees C roughly 0.2 kcal/mol and each 3' end from 0.8 to 1.7 kcal/mol. The free energy increments for dangling ends on GCGC are similar to the corresponding increments reported for the GGCC core [Freier, S. M., Alkema, D., Sinclair, A., Neilson, T., & Turner, D. H. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 4533-4539], indicating a nearest-neighbor model is adequate for prediction of stabilization due to dangling ends. Nearest-neighbor parameters for prediction of the free energy effects of adding dangling ends and terminal base pairs next to G.C pairs are presented. Comparison of these free energy changes is used to partition the free energy of base pair formation into contributions of "stacking" and "pairing". If pairing contributions are due to hydrogen bonding, the results suggest stacking and hydrogen bonding make roughly comparable favorable contributions to the stability of a terminal base pair. The free energy increment associated with forming a hydrogen bond is estimated to be -1 kcal/mol of hydrogen bond.
