Structures were determined using distances extracted from NOE effects alone or using both NOE and RDC constraints, measured in three different liquid crystalline media. We ensured that our data on the influence of the mesogen on the DNA structures, and the way in which the RDCs were incorporated as constraints in the protocol refinement, were consistent. We also tested the influence of different sets of RDCs and the best means of optimizing the calculation of D(a) and R. Resolution and accuracy of the ten best energy final structures were compared. The addition of a small set of RDC constraints significantly improves the final determined structures. We took advantage of the specificity of the RDC, i.e. it contains orientational information, and explored the global shape of the DNA duplexes; it was found that the duplexes do not have a large curvature. For the G-T base pair, we observed, in this particular sequence (tandem of G-T mismatches), a new pattern of base pairing, which involved the formation of a bifurcated hydrogen bond.
