Oligodeoxyribonucleotide duplexes containing carcinogenic lesions and helical errors were probed by proton and phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Homonuclear correlated (COSY) and nuclear Overhauser effect (NOESY) spectroscopy were utilized to assign the majority of the proton resonances to specific residues in each duplex. Heteronuclear ({sup 31}P-{sup 1}H) correlation spectroscopy was used to assign the phosphorus resonances to specific phosphodiester backbone positions in each helix. The NOE, spin-spin coupling, and chemical shift data were interpreted qualitatively, providing information on hydrogen-bonding, glycosidic torsion angles, sugar puckers, stacking interactions, helix stability, and phosphodiester backbone conformation. Our studies have analyzed the effects of flanking base pairs and the type of extra-base (purine or pyrimidine) on the stacking behavior of an extra-base at a bulge site in self-complementary duplexes. The base-pairing properties of covalent carcinogenic O-alky lesions of purine and pyrimidine bases, specifically, O{sup 4}-methyl thymidine (O{sup 4}meT), O{sup 6}-methyl guanosine (O{sup 6}meG), and O{sup 6}-ethyl guanosine (O{sup 6}etG), were identified. The other helical errors studied were synthetic analogs of apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites opposite adenosine in the center of otherwise identical nonamer duplexes.
