Abstract
In order to elucidate the detailed Z-DNA interaction with polyamines and also to clarify the mutual molecular recognition between the left-handed helix and the biologically important polyamine molecule, several polyamine-Z-DNA hexamer complexes were crystallized and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. The general interaction modes found in these crystal structures were discussed in comparison with those in the complexes between polyamine and the right-handed DNA or RNA.
