Based on the structural data obtained in solution, a novel sequence-specific local structure function, sigma LS, composed of the sum of the contributions from the helix twist omega, base roll rho, base-pair slide delta delta and propeller twist omega, is introduced to describe their sequence-specific local structures. Sigma LS is found to produce an acceptable correlation (r = 0.96) with the relative local stability (delta G0 10) of a base-pair-step. This result demonstrates that in addition to the inter-strand purine-purine clashes, the base morphology of nearest-neighbor base-pairs is also important in defining the local geometry of base-pairs. Thus, in analyzing the base-pair structural parameter blocks of trimers are used as the basic unit whereas for the base-pair-step structural parameters, the basic unit is composed of blocks of tetramers. The omega LS-delta G(zero) 10 correlation is the first experimental evidence demonstrating the relationship between the relative local stabilities and the sequence-specific local structures of DNA duplexes. It also forms the basis for using the trimer-tetramer model for the prediction of sequence-specific local structures of deoxyribonucleic acid molecules.
