RESUMO
Studies have been made of base-pairing conformational parameters in single crystal structures of very short chain oligonucleotide structures complexed with drug molecules, using data extracted from the Cambridge structural database. The planar portion of the drug has a tendency to intercalate between two bases, utilising strong stacking interactions to stabilise the configuration. The effect of the existence of a formative backbone is seen in the high occurrence of standard base-pairing schemes and a consistent C1'-C1' separation, although the choice of compounds studied does tend to emphasise complementary pairing. In addition to the modulation of the general magnitude which is reduced from that in uncomplexed oligonucleotides, there appears to be some correlation of propeller twist value with the presence of planar groups sandwiching a base-pair. The average twist in such sandwiched pairs is lower than in any other group studied to date.
