Base-stacking and base-pairing contributions to helix stability: thermodynamics of double-helix formation with CCGG, CCGGp, CCGGAp, ACCGGp, CCGGUp, and ACCGGUp
Abstract
The thermodynamics of double-helix formation in 1 M NaCl have been measured spectrophotometrically for CCGG, CCGGp, CCGGAp, ACCGGp, CCGGUp, and ACCGGUp. The results indicate additional double-helical stability is conferred by the terminal unpaired bases. The 3' A stabilizes the double helix more than the 5' A or the 3' U. The increased stability is due to a more favorable enthalpy change for double-helix formation. Comparison of the thermodynamics for CCGG, ACCGGp, CCGGUp, and ACCGGUp indicates stacking interactions are somewhat more important than pairing interactions in determining the stability of the terminal AU base pairs in ACCGGUp.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
