Abstract
A molecular dynamics simulation of the DNA dodecamer d(CGCATATATGCG) has been performed with AMBER 5.0 under low salt conditions. Both B --> A and A --> B transitions are observed. This may have biological significance for the formation of complexes between DNA and TATA-box binding proteins.
