There is not an example of the crystallization only of d(CG)(3) and a metallic cation without putting the amine in addition in there is no example of the crystallization d(CG)(3) with methylamine that is the mono-amine so far either. We were able to obtain a very beautiful crystal with all sides of 0.3mm by the sitting drop method that had done the crystallization of d(CG)(3)+ methylamine and d(CG)(3)+ Mg(2 +). The crystal was diffracted up to 1.0 A by using the synchrotron radiation. As a result of the X-ray crystal structure analysis, methylamine was not seen while d(CG)(3)+ methylamine was crystallizing mysteriously. d(CG)(3) had stabilized with five Mg(2+) ions. d(CG)(3) had stabilized similarly with five Mg(2+) ions in the crystal of d(CG)(3)+ Mg(2+). The position of these five Mg(2+) ions understood that I agreed on superimpose in a crystal of d(CG)(3) + methylamine, a crystal of d(CG)(3)+Mg(2+), a crystal of d(CG)(3) + spermidine, and crystals of d(CG)(3) + PA (24) which was already analyzed so as to cut it and stabilized d(CG)(3) at an about the same position.

Stabilization of the left-handed Z-DNA with monoamines and polyamines.

It is known that the crystal structure of d(CG)3 become left-handed Z-DNA under high salt concentration and various polyamines stabilize the Z-DNA structure. We have structurally investigated how polyamines stabilize the Z-DNA by the X-ray crystallographic analysis of d(CG)3-polyamine cocrystals. In this study, we determined the Z-DNA structures with di- to pentavalent polyamines at high resolution.
