H-DNA

H-DNA is found in polypyrimidine or polypurine segments that contain a minor repeat. An example is a long stretch of alternating T and C residues. The main feature of H-DNA is the pairing and interwinding of three strands of DNA to form a triple helix. H-DNA in triple helix contains pyrimidines in two strands and the third contains purines.
