11. While this work was in progress, 8-methylguanine was shown to stabilize Z-DNA under physiological salt conditions 19.
12. 10,20 for 2'-deoxy-Dnucleoside phosphoramidites allowed assembling of L-enantiomeric domains. Deoxy-2'-L-thymine-loaded CPG was used for the synthesis of oligodeoxynucleotides having a L-domain at their 3'-end.
13. The circular dichroism spectrum of D1L2 at 13 °C exhibits very weak signals between 220 and 320 nm which could result from the presence of two enantio-domains having opposite handedness and producing opposite signals. A non-zero C.D. spectrum may arise from absence of true symmetry in terms of sequence and orientation of each domain.
