Further studies on telestability in DNA. The synthesis and characterization of the duplex block polymers d(C20A10) - d(T10G20) and d(C20A15) - d(T15G20)

The synthesis and characterization of the duplex block polymers d(C20A10) -
d(T10G20) and d(C20A15) - d(T15G20) are described. Thermal denaturation
studies on these DNAs in the absence and presence of actinomycin, which
binds only to the GC portions of these molecules, have confirmed and
extended our previous observation that the properties of one region of a
DNA can be influenced (telestabilized) by a remote region. In addition, the
large scale synthesis of d(C15A15) - d(T15G15) is described.
