This review summarizes data on the structure and properties of water under nor­mal conditions, at high salt concentration and under high pressure. We correlate the observed conformational transitions in nucleic acids with changes in water structure and activity, and suggest a mechanism of conformational transitions of nucleic acid involving these changes. We conclude that the Z-DNA form is induced only at low wa­ter activity caused by high salt concentrations and/or high pressure.
