Structures for polyinosinic acid and polyguanylic acid
Open accessAbstract
X-ray-diffraction analysis of oriented, partially crystalline fibres of polyinosinic acid has resulted in a new molecular model. This model consists of four identical polynucleotide chains related to one another by a fourfold rotation axis. The coaxial helices are righthanded (screw symmetry 232) and have an axial translation per residue h=0.341nm and a rotation per residue t=31.3°. Incorporated in the model are standard bond lengths, bond angles and C-2-endo furanose rings. The nucleotide conformation angles, determined by linked-atom least-squares methods, are orthodox and the fit with the X-ray intensities is good. Each hypoxanthine base is linked to two others by hydrogen bonds involving O-6 and N-1. Further stability may arise from intrachain hydrogen bonds between each ribose hydroxyl group and the phosphate oxygen O-3. If guanine were to be substituted for hypoxanthine in an isogeometrical molecular structure, additional hydrogen bonds could be made between every N-2 and N-7.

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.
