1 2D NOESY Single-stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotides, d(5-GCTAAGGAAAGCC-3) and the complementary strand d(5-GGCTTTCCTTAGC-3), were synthesized using standard phosphoramidite chemistry. Single-stranded DNA molecules were purified using anion exchange chromatography (MonoQ HR 5/5, Pharmacia Biotech). Purity was confirmed by UV spectroscopy, analytical anion exchange chromatography, and mass spectrometry. The GC and thioGC DNA duplexes were each prepared by annealing either equimolar amounts of complimentary strands or a 1.2 molar excess of the unmodified strand to the modified strand in Buffer A (10 mM sodium phosphate, 50 mM NaCl, pH 7.0) at 70 C for 5 min., followed by slow cooling over 12 hours to room temperature. DNA duplexes were purified using gel filtration chromatography (Superdex Peptide HR 10/30, Pharmacia Biotech) in Buffer A. approx. 65 mM Buffer A (10 mM sodium phosphate, 50 mM NaCl, pH 7.0) 7.0 ambient 293

Method Details Software
restrained molecular dynamics, relaxation matrix analysis Restrained molecular dynamics (rMD) structure refinement of B-DNA starting structures was performed using an XPLOR 3.1 (26) simulated annealing protocol employing the Cheatham, et al. (19), force field. This force field was modified to include parameterization of thioG, as described above. Starting structures were energy minimized by 160 steps of Powells conjugate gradient minimization followed by rMD while heating to 600 K at 50 K sec-1, cooling to 300 K at 25 K sec-1, and equilibrating at 293 K over 250 ps. 1
