Abstract

The manner in which Z-DNA is stabilized at high salt concentrations remains unclear. Here, we systematically examine the Z-DNA-stabilizing capabilities of different salts. The strong correlation between the double-stranded DNA denaturation and B-to-Z transition efficiencies indicates that Z-DNA is mainly stabilized by the Hofmeister effect.
