Stereochemical restraints were only used for the sperminium cation (in both structures) and for nucleotides with dual conformation in the Zn(2+) complex. The Mn(2+) and Zn(2+) cations at the major site, designated M(2+)(1), bind at the N7 position of G6 by direct coordination. The coordination geometry of this site was octahedral, with complete hydration shells. An additional Zn(2+)(2) cation was bis-coordinated in a tetrahedral fashion by the N7 atoms of G10 and G12 from a symmetry-related molecule. The coordination distances of Zn(2+)(1) and Zn(2+)(2) to the O6 atom of the guanine residues were 3.613 (6) and 3.258 (5) A, respectively. Moreover, a chloride ion was also identified in the coordination sphere of Zn(2+)(2). Alternate conformations were observed in the Z-DNA-Zn(2+) structure not only at internucleotide linkages but also at the terminal C3'-OH group of G12. The conformation of the sperminium chain in the Z-DNA-Mn(2+) complex is similar to the spermine(4+) conformation in analogous Z-DNA-Mg(2+) structures. In the Z-DNA-Zn(2+) complex the sperminium cation is disordered and partially invisible in electron-density maps. In the Z-DNA-Zn(2+) complex the sperminium cation only interacts with the phosphate groups of the Z-DNA molecules, while in the Z-DNA-Mn(2+) structure it forms hydrogen bonds to both the phosphate groups and DNA bases.
