Abstract
Transition mutations induced by the base analogue 2-aminopurine arise via the formation of AP·C base pairs during DNA replication. We report here the results of N-15 NMR studies on a duplex oligonucleotide containing N-15 enriched AP and C residues. At high pH (8.6) the AP·C base pair is predominantly wobble. This is the first report on use of a site specifically N-15 enriched oligonucleotide as a probe of aberrant base pairing in DNA.
