Abstract

The p.m.r. data of d(TpT) and its predominant u.v. photoproduct d(T[p]T) in aqueous solution are compared. The data are consistent with the presence of a cis-syn cyclobutane ring in d(T[p]T). Consideration of the H 1′ chemical shifts leads to the conclusion that changes in the sugar–base torsion angle of both nucleotide fragments of the parent molecule are required to bring the thymine bases into alignment for photodimerization. The coupling constants indicate that the conformation of the 5′-terminal fragment is only slightly affected by the cyclobutane ring formation. Photodimerization brings about a distortion of the sugar pucker in the 3′-terminal fragment. In this fragment both the gauche-gauche and gauche-trans conformers are significantly populated whereas the trans-gauche form is excluded.

  • NMR and X-ray studies of cis-syn CPD with S-cyanoethyl phosphotriester show the two pyrimidine bases rotated by −29° base twist, compared with the right-handed 36° value in B-form DNA.

    “NMR and X-ray diffraction studies of the ultraviolet photoproduct, cis-syn CPD, with the S-cyanoethyl phosphotriester have revealed that the two pyrimidine bases are rotated by −29° base twist, contrasting to the right-handed 36° value observed in B-form DNA [78, 79].”

    From Molecular Mechanisms of Ultraviolet Radiation‐Induced DNA Damage and Repair (2010) · cites this paper as [78]

    The Geometry of the Cyclobutane Ring section describes an NMR study of the cis-syn d(TpT) photoproduct, but says its data cannot independently assign the intact molecule’s ring configuration. The Sugar-Base Torsion Angles section reports reorientation after photodimerization; neither section gives a −29° base twist, a 36° B-DNA comparison, or an X-ray result for an S-cyanoethyl phosphotriester. Our copy supplies only part of what the sentence attributes to this source (page numbers unavailable). (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
