Abstract

The X-ray structure of a DNA duplex containing a synthetic [N.sup.4]C-ethyl-[N.sup.4]C interstrand cross-link between the cytosines of the central CpG step is determined at 1.65 Angstrom resolution. This structure reveals that the ethyl cross-link in the CpG major grooves does not significantly disrupt the B-form DNA helix.
