Conformational control of thymine photodimerization in single-strand and duplex DNA containing locked nucleic acid TT steps.

The results of an integrated experimental and theoretical study of thymine-thymine photodimerization in short single-strand and duplex DNA structures possessing a single locked nucleic acid TT step are reported. Control of ground-state conformation by the locked nucleic acids results in a marked increase in both the quantum yield and the selectivity of photoproduct formation.
