RESUMO
Circular dichroism spectra have been calculated for multi-stranded polyinosinic acid using three different right-handed structures proposed from X-ray diffraction studies. Agreement between calculated spectra and spectra measured at high salt concentration is best for a four strand structure in which the bases are tilted with respect to the helix axis, as proposed by Arnott et al. (1974). For structures in which the bases are perpendicular to the helix axis, the characteristic negative circular dichoroism of polyinosinic acid at long wavelength no longer appears in the calculated spectra. It is clear that a negative circular dichroism at long wavelength does not indicate a left-handed polynucleotide helix.
