Abstract

The self-association of guanosine, cytidine, and adenosine and base pairing between guanosine, cytidine, adenosine, and uridine in dimethyl sulfoxide have been investigated by the variation of their 15N NMR chemical shifts with concentration and temperature. Guanosine, cytidine, and adenosine all showed evidence of self-association by hydrogen bonding. In guanosine/cytidine mixtures, a hydrogen-bonded dimer is formed; however, no base pairing could be detected with adenosine/cytidine or adenosine/uridine mixtures.
