B-DNA

a form of DNA in which the helix is right-handed and the overall appearance is long and thin.

B-DNA

The fully hydrated right-handed helical form of DNA seen in vivo; it is a sequence-dependent local variation in the structure of the DNA helix, which influences groove width, helical twist, mechanical rigidity, bending and resistance to bending.

B-DNA

the classical configuration of DNA with a right-handed double helix and 10 nucleotides per turn of the helix. see DNA STRUCTURE.

It is known that in a Bto-A transition, the B-DNA marker band at 835 (phosphodiester mode) shifts toward a lower frequency at -800 [cm.sup.-1] and a new band appear at -870-860[cm.sup.1].

Z-DNA twists in the opposite direction from the typical, right-handed double helix, known as B-DNA. The left-handed conformation requires quite a bit of extra energy to keep from reverting to a right-handed twist, notes Zhang.
