ABSTRACT:
A process for altering the potential for Z-DNA formation which comprises altering the nucleotide sequence of DNA in vitro by site-directed mutagenesis or DNA substitution or deletion. Six rules for altering potential for Z-DNA formation are provided. These include the alternations of purine and pyrimidine residues.
