Abstract

A statistical method, Bayes Maximum Likelihood, has been applied to the classification of base 13C NMR resonances in DNA oligomers. An accuracy of 100% for carbon class discrimination was achieved for a preliminary training set of four oligomers using the following four parameters: (1) the chemical shift; (2) the temperature at which the spectrum was obtained; (3) the difference in chemical shift from the C5 resonances; and (4) a sequence factor representing the neighboring nucleotides. Classification of a fifth oligomer, previously assigned and not contained in the original training set, gave reasonable carbon class assignments.
