'''Crystal Structure Analysis of the B-DNA GAATTCG'''<br />
'''Crystal Structure Analysis of the B-DNA GAATTCG'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
DNA oligonucleotides can be used in order to assemble highly structured, materials. Oligonucleotides with sticky ends can form long linear, structures, whereas branching is required to form two- and, three-dimensional nanostructures. In this paper, we show that when Ni(2+), is attached to the N7 atom of guanine, it can also act as a branching, point. Thus, we have found that the heptanucleotide d(GAATTCG) can, assemble into long linear duplex structures, which cross in space to, generate a cubic structure. The three-dimensional arrays are stabilized by, phosphate-Ni(2+)-guanine interactions. For the first time, the, crystallization of a B form DNA oligonucleotide in a cubic system is, reported, space group I23. Large solvent cavities are found among the DNA, duplexes.
