摘要
We have used DNase I footprinting to examine the formation of intermolecular triple helices at a fragment containing the target sequence A(11)(AT)(6) .(AT)(6)T-11, using oligonucleotides designed to form parallel T . AT and G . TA triplets, We find that, although (TG), does not form a complex with (AT)(6) .(AT)(6), T-11(TG)(6) forms a stable structure producing a clear footprint which includes the (AT)(6) portion of the target site, This complex is not formed in the presence of magnesium, but can be stabilised by either manganese or a tripler-binding ligand.,
