Although previous studies have provided convincing evidence of the applicability of the racemic crystallization technique to DNA through the study of well-characterized DNA structures, we sought to apply this method to a historically challenging DNA sequence. For this purpose we chose a non-self-complementary DNA duplex containing the biologically-relevant Pribnow box consensus sequence 'TATAAT'. Four racemic crystal structures of this previously un-crystallizable DNA target are reported (with resolutions in the range of 1.65-2.3 A), with further crystallographic studies and structural analysis providing insight into the racemic crystallization process as well as structural details of this highly pertinent DNA sequence.
