At the same time, the major groove is approximately two times wider (1.2 nm) than the minor groove (3).It has been shown that in the higher salt concentrations or with the addition of non-electrolytes (e.g., ethanol), the DNA structure may change from the B to the A form. This places the guanine back over the sugar ring, in contrast to the usual anticonformation seen in A- and B-form nucleic acid.

Each complete turn of the helix encompasses 3.4 nm or 10 base pairs (9.7 and 10.6 in different crystals) (2).The diameter of the B-DNA helix (the distance between phosphorus atoms of one complementary base pair) equals 2 nm, and purine and pyrimidine bases occupy 3/5 and 2/5 of this distance, respectively. The B to A transformation occurs not only when the relative humidity of the sample is lowered but also when the heteroduplex with RNA is formed. All the work was finished on time. As previously mentioned, Z-DNA can form when the DNA is in an alternating purine-pyrimidine sequence such as GCGCGC, and indeed the G and C nucleotides are in different conformations, leading to the zig-zag pattern. This form may follow the action of RNA polymerase because of the negative super coiling of the DNA molecule.Other forms of the DNA double helix, such as H, B`, С, and D forms, have also been described. They proposed two strands of DNA -- each in a right‑hand helix -- wound around the same axis. The B form of DNA has a helix repeat of 10.5 bp per helical turn, whereas Z-DNA has a helix repeat of approximately 13.6 bp per turn (112, 113). This is called A-form nucleic acid.A third form of duplex DNA has a strikingly different, left-handed helical structure. The term entered popular culture with the publication in 1968 of The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA by James Watson. Thus the distance between adjacent nucleotides is reduced by about 1 Angstrom in A-form relative to B-form nucleic acid (Figure \(\PageIndex{4}\)).A second major difference between A-form and B-form nucleic acid is the placement of base-pairs within the duplex. Two chains of deoxyribonucleotides interact with each other following a certain rule — the principle of complementarity (adenine forms hydrogen bonds and pairs with thymine and guanine with cytosine) to form a double helix. They successfully set the priorities and rapidly reacted to remarks. The depths of the minor and major grooves are 0.85 nm and 0.75 nm, respectively. As a result, a cavity appears along the axis of the molecule, the major groove becomes deeper and more narrow, whereas the minor groove becomes wider and flatter (5). As shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{4}\), if you consider the plane defined by the C4'-O-C1' atoms of the deoxyribose, in the C2' endoconformation, the C2' atom is above the plane, whereas the C3' atom is above the plane in the C3' endoconformation. 10.5base pairs per complete turn of one strand of cccDNA, there are 10base pairs per turn of DNA bound to the nucleosome in a cell. Under conditions of low humidity and in the presence of certain salts, some parts of the DNA molecule rich in purine-pyrimidine sequences (stretches of alternating G and C sequences) are especially prone to conversion into the Z form. That is the classic, right-handed double helical structure we have been discussing. The length of one turn of the helix is 3.4 nm From These are the complementary base pairs. It has the sugar in the C3' endoconformation (like A-form nucleic acid, and in contrast to B-form DNA) and the guanine base is in the synconformation. a turn and there are 11 base pairs per turn. It is in the C2' endoconformation for B-form, whereas it is in the C3' endoconformation in A-form. The base‑pairing scheme immediately suggests a way to replicate and copy the the genetic information.The two strands are not in a simple side‑by‑side arrangement, which would be called a The major groove is wider than the minor groove in DNA (Figure \(\PageIndex{2d}\)), and many sequence specific proteins interact in the major groove.
