==Overview==

The behaviour of the d(GGTATACC) oligonucleotide has been investigated by, X-ray crystallography at 295 K in the range from ambient pressure to 2 GPa, ( approximately 20 000 atm). Four 3D-structures of the A-DNA form (at, ambient pressure, 0.55, 1.09 and 1.39 GPa) were refined at 1.60 or 1.65 A, resolution. In addition to the diffraction pattern of the A-form, the, broad meridional streaks previously explained by occluded B-DNA octamers, within the channels of the crystalline A-form matrix were observed up to, at least 2 GPa. This work highlights an important property of nucleic, acids, their capability to withstand very high pressures, while keeping in, such conditions a nearly invariant geometry of base pairs that store and, carry genetic information. The double-helix base-paired architecture, behaves as a molecular spring, which makes it especially adapted to very, harsh conditions. These features may have contributed to the emergence of, a RNA World at prebiotic stage.
