The effects of unnatural base pairs and mispairs on DNA duplex stability and solvation

In an effort to develop unnatural DNA base pairs we examined six pyridine-based nucleotides, d3MPy, d4MPy, d5MPy, d34DMPy, d35DMPy and d45DMPy. Each bears a pyridyl nucleobase scaffold but they are differentiated by methyl substitution, and were designed to vary both inter- and intra-strand packing...
