Abstract
The 5'-end N-sugar puckering is currently believed to govern the intramolecular dinucleotide stacking. We demonstrate that if this 5'-conformation is indeed important in shaping up dinucleotide structures, the 3'-end sugar conformation can either potentiate or cancel the stacking capacity induced by the 5'-end N-sugar conformation.
