Abstract
The Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectra of Nucleic Acid molecules and their adducts are summerized and discussed. The potential coordination sites are analyzed in relation to known conformations of the backbone and the bases of DNA. “Marker bands” have been suggested for the conformations, C3’ endo/anti (A-DNA), C2’endo/anti (B-DNA) and C3’endo/syn (Z-DNA). These bands have been observed in FT-IR spectra of metal ion-nucleotide adducts, as well as, in metal ion-DNA adducts, in the regions, 600–900 cm-1 and 1000–1700 cm-1, similar to Raman spectra.
