The sodium dodecyl sulfate driven dissociation reactions of daunorubicin (1), mitoxantrone (2), ametantrone (3), and a related anthraquinone without hydroxyl groups on the ring or side chain (4) from calf thymus DNA, poly[d(G-C)]2, and poly[d(A-T)]2 have been investigated by stopped-flow kinetic methods. All four compounds exhibit biphasic dissociation reactions from their DNA complexes. Daunorubicin and mitoxantrone have similar dissociation rate constants that are lower than those for ametantrone and 4. The effect of temperature and ionic strength on both rate constants for each compound is similar. An analysis of the effects of salt on the two rate constants for daunorubicin and mitoxantrone suggests that both of these compounds bind to DNA through a mechanism that involves formation of an initial outside complex followed by intercalation. The daunorubicin dissociation results from both poly[d(G-C)]2 and poly[d(A-T)]2 can be fitted with a single exponential function, and the rate constants are quite close. The ametantrone and 4 polymer dissociation results can also be fitted with single exponential curves, but with these compounds the dissociation rate constants for the poly[d(G-C)]2 complexes are approximately 10 times lower than for the poly[d(A-T)]2 complexes. Mitoxantrone also has a much slower dissociation rate from poly[d(G-C)]2 than from poly[d(A-T)]2, but its dissociation from both polymers exhibits biphasic kinetics. Possible reasons for the biphasic behavior with the polymers, which is unique to mitoxantrone, are selective binding and dissociation from the alternating polymer intercalation sites and/or dual binding modes of the intercalator with both side chains in the same groove or with one side chain in each groove. 相似文献

The nature of binding of Ru(phen) 2+ (I), Ru(bipy) 2+ (II), Ru(terpy) 2+ (III) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bipy 3 = 2,2'-bipyridyl, 3 terpy = 2,2'2," - 2 terpyridyl) to DNA, poly[d(G-C)] and poly[d(A-T)] has been compared by absorption, fluorescence, DNA melting and DNA unwinding techniques. I binds intercalatively to DNA in low ionic strength solutions. Topoisomerisation shows that it unwinds DNA by 22 degrees +/- 1 per residue and that it thermally stabilizes poly[d(A-T)] in a manner closely resembling ethidium. Poly[d(A-T)] induces greater spectral changes on I than poly[d(G-C)] and a preference for A-T rich regions is indicated. I binding is very sensitive to Mg2+ concentration. In contrast to I the binding of II and III appears to be mainly electrostatic in nature, and causes no unwinding. There is no evidence for the binding of the neutral Ru(phen)2 (CN)2 or Ru(bipy)2 (CN)2 complexes. DNA is cleaved, upon visible irradiation of aerated solutions, in the presence of either I or II. 相似文献

We examined the binding geometry of Co-meso-tetrakis (N-methyl pyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin, Co-meso-tetrakis (N-n-butyl pyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin and their metal-free ligands to poly[d(A-T)(2)] and poly[d(G-C)(2)] by optical spectroscopic methods including absorption, circular and linear dichroism spectroscopy, and fluorescence energy transfer technique. Signs of an induced CD spectrum in the Soret band depend only on the nature of the DNA sequence; all porphyrins exhibit negative CD when bound to poly[d(G-C)(2)] and positive when bound to poly[d(A-T)(2)]. Close analysis of the linear dichroism result reveals that all porphyrins exhibit outside binding when complexed with poly[d(A-T)(2)], regardless of the existence of a central metal and side chain. However, in the case of poly[d(G-C)(2)], we observed intercalative binding mode for two nonmetalloporphyrins and an outside binding mode for metalloporphyrins. The nature of the outside binding modes of the porphyrins, when complexed with poly[d(A-T)(2)] and poly[d(G-C)(2)], are quite different. We also demonstrate that an energy transfer from the excited nucleo-bases to porphyrins can occur for metalloporphyrins. 相似文献

The binding of polyamines, including spermidine ( 1 ) and spermine ( 2 ), to poly[d(G-C) · d(G-C) ] was probed using spectroscopic studies of anthracene-9-carbonyl-N1-spermine ( 3 ); data from normal absorption, linear dichroism (LD), and circular dichroism (CD) are reported. Ligand LD and CD for transitions located in the DNA region of the spectrum were used. The data show that 3 binds to DNA in a manner characteristic of both its amine and polycyclic aromatic parts. With poly [(dG-dC) · (dG-dC)], binding modes are occupied sequentially and different modes correspond to different structural perturbations of the DNA. The most stable binding mode for 3 with poly[d(G-C) · d(G-C)] has a site size of 6 ± 1 bases, and an equilibrium binding constant of (2.2 ± 1.1) × 107 M?1 with the anthracene moiety intercalated. It dominates the spectra from mixing ratios of approximately 133:1 until 6:1 DNA phosphate: 3 is reached. The analogous data for poly [d(A-T) · d(A-T)] between mixing ratios 36:1 and 7:1 indicates a site size of 8.3 ± 1.1 bases and an equilibrium binding constant of (6.6 ± 3.3) × 105 M?1. Thus, 3 binds preferentially to poly [d(G-C) · d(G-C)] at these concentrations. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

The binding of 9-hydroxyellipticine to calf thymus DNA, poly[d(A-T)]2, and poly-[d(G-C)]2 has been studied in detail by means of CD, linear dichroism, resonance light scattering, and molecular dynamics. The transition moment polarizations of 9-hydroxyelliptiycine were determined in polyvinyl alcohol stretched film. Spectroscopic solution studies of the DNA/drug complex are combined with theoretical CD calculations using the final 50 ps of a series of molecular dynamics simulations as input. The spectroscopic data shows 9-hydroxyellipticine to adopt two main binding modes, one intercalative and the other a stacked binding mode involving the formation of drug oligomers in the DNA major groove. Analysis of the intercalated binding mode in poly[d(A-T)]2 suggests the 9-hydroxyellipticine hydroxyl group lies in the minor groove and hydrogen bonds to water with the pyridine ring protruding into the major groove. The stacked binding mode was examined using resonance light scattering and it was concluded that the drug was forming small oligomer stacks rather than extended aggregates. Reduced linear dichroism measurements suggested a binding geometry that precluded a minor groove binding mode where the plane of the drug makes a 45° angle with the plane of the bases. Thus it was concluded that the drug stacks in the major groove. No obvious differences in the mode of binding of 9-hydroxyellipticine were observed between different DNA sequences; however, the stacked binding mode appeared to be more favorable for calf thymus DNA and poly[d(G-C)]2 than for poly[d(A-T)]2, an observation that could be explained by the slightly greater steric hindrance of the poly[d(A-T)]2 major groove. A strong concentration dependence was observed for the two binding modes where intercalation is favored at very low drug load, with stacking interactions becoming more prominent as the drug concentration is increased. Even at DNA : drug mixing ratios of 70:1 the stacked binding mode was still important for GC-rich DNAs. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 46: 127–143, 1998 相似文献

Factors influencing the binding of tetracationic porphyrin derivatives to DNA have been comprehensively evaluated by equilibrium dialysis, stopped-flow kinetics, etc., for mesotetrakis (4-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin [TMpyP (4)]. Technical difficulties have previously precluded a comprehensive study of metalloporphyrins. Since electrostatic interactions with the DNA and metal derivatization of the porphyrins have important consequences, we have investigated in greater detail two isomers of TMpyP (4) (meso-tetrakis(3-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin, [TMpyP (3)] and meso-tetrakis(2-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin [TMpyP (2)]) in which the position of the charged centers has been varied. A comprehensive study of the Cu(II) derivatives, e.g., CuTMpyP (4), was possible since the difficulties encountered previously with Ni(II) compounds were not a problem with Cu(II) porphyrins [J. A. Strickland, L. G. Marzilli, M. K. Gay, and W. D. Wilson (1988) Biochemistry 27, 8870-8878]. At 25 degrees C, the apparent equilibrium constants [Kobs] decreased with increasing [Na+] for all porphyrins. The Kobs values were comparable for TMpyP (4) and TMpyP (3) binding to either polyd(G-C).polyd(G-C) [poly[d(G-C)2]] or poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] [poly[d(A-T)2]]. For the copper(II) porphyrins, the Kobs values were about fivefold greater. The Kobs value for CuTMpyP (2) binding to poly[d(G-C)2] was too small to measure under typical salt conditions; however, Kobs for binding to poly[d(A-T)2] was about two orders of magnitude smaller than those found for CuTMpyP (4) or CuTMpyP (3). Application of the condensation theory for polyelectrolytes suggests about three charge interactions when CuTMpyP (4), CuTMpyP (3), and TMpyP (3) bind to poly[d(G-C)2] or poly[d(A-T)2], a result comparable to that reported for TMpyP (4). At 20 degrees C and 0.115 M [Na+], incorporation of copper decreased the rates of dissociation from poly[d(A-T)2] by a 100-fold compared to those reported for TMpyP (4) but had little effect on the rates of dissociation from poly[d(G-C)2]. Also, movement of the H3CN+ group from the fourth to the third position of the pyridinium ring enhanced the rates of dissociation from poly[d(A-T)2] but decreased the rates of dissociation from poly[d(G-C)2]. From polyelectrolyte theory, the [Na+] dependence of the dissociation rates from poly[d(G-C)2] is consistent with intercalative binding, while that for poly[d(A-T)2] is consistent with an outside binding model. For calf thymus [CT] DNA at 20 degrees C, a greater decrease in the AT than in the GC imino 1H-nmr signal was observed upon addition of CuTMpyP (2), suggesting selective outside binding to the AT regions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

We have investigated the equilibrium binding of racemic 7r,8t,9t,10c-tetrahydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene to the double-stranded, synthetic polynucleotides poly[d(A-T)], poly[d(G-C)], and poly[d(G-m5C)] at low binding ratios. Difference absorption spectroscopy shows a 10-nm red shift for binding to poly[d(A-T)] and an 11-nm red shift for binding to either poly[d(G-C)] or poly[d(G-m5C)]. The value of delta epsilon for binding is approximately the same for all three hydrocarbon-polynucleotide complexes. Binding of this neutral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivative to these polynucleotides is dependent upon ionic strength and temperature. Analysis of complex formation employing polyelectrolyte theory shows a greater release of counterions associated with binding to poly[d(A-T)] than with the other two polynucleotides (0.5 and ca. 0.36, respectively). Thus, sequence-selective binding of this hydrocarbon in DNA would be expected to change depending on salt concentration. The temperature dependence of binding was studied at 100 mM Na+ where the equilibrium binding constants for poly[d(A-T)] and poly[d(G-m5C)] are roughly equivalent and 6-fold greater than the binding affinity for poly[d(G-C)]. The binding to poly[d(A-T)] and poly[d(G-C)] is characterized by a delta H omicron = -7.0 kcal/mol, and the large difference in affinity constants arises from differences in negative entropic contributions. Formation of hydrocarbon-poly[d(G-m5C)] complexes is accompanied by a delta H = -9.1 kcal/mol. However, the affinity for poly[d-(G-m5C)] is the same as that for poly[d(A-T)] due to the much more negative entropy associated with binding to poly[d(G-m5C)]. 相似文献

Poly[d(A-T).d(A-T)] and poly[d(G-C).d(G-C)], each dissolved in 0.1 M NaClO4, 5 mM cacodylic acid buffer, pH 6.8, experience inversion of their circular dichroism (CD) spectrum subsequent to the addition of Hg(ClO4)2. Let r identical to [Hg(ClO4)2]added/[DNA-P]. The spectrum of the right-handed form of poly[d(A-T).d(A-T)] turns into that of a seemingly left-handed structure at r greater than or equal to 0.05 while a similar transition is noted with poly[d(G-C).(G-C)] at r greater than or equal to 0.12. The spectral changes are highly cooperative in the long-wavelength region above 250 nm. At r = 1.0, the spectra of the two polymers are more or less mirror images of their CD at r = 0. While most CD bands experience red-shifts upon the addition of Hg(ClO4)2, there are some that are blue-shifted. The CD changes are totally reversible when Hg(II) is removed from the nucleic acids by the addition of a strong complexing agent such as NaCN. This demonstrates that mercury keeps all base pairs in register. 相似文献

The binding of propidium to poly(dA).poly(dT) [poly(dA.dT)] and to poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] [poly[d(A-T)2]] has been compared under a variety of solution conditions by viscometric titrations, binding studies, and kinetic experiments. The binding of propidium to poly[d(A-T)2] is quite similar to its binding to calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The interaction with poly(dA.dT), however, is quite unusual. The viscosity of a poly(dA.dT) solution first decreases and then increases in a titration with propidium at 18 degrees C. The viscosity of poly[d(A-T)2] shows no decrease in a similar titration. Scatchard plots for the interaction of propidium with poly(dA.dT) show the classical upward curvature for positive cooperativity. The curvature decreases as the temperature is increased in binding experiments. A van't Hoff plot of the observed binding constants yields an apparent positive enthalpy of approximately +6 kcal/mol for the propidium-poly(dA.dT) interaction. Propidium binding to poly[d(A-T)2] shows no evidence for positive cooperativity, and the enthalpy change for the reaction is approximately -9 kcal/mol. Both the magnitude of the dissociation constants and the effects of ionic strength are quite similar for the dissociation of propidium from poly(dA-T)2] and from poly[d(A-T)2], suggesting that the intercalated states are similar for the two complexes. The observed association reactions, under pseudo-first-order conditions, are quite different. Plots of the observed pseudo-first-order association rate constant vs. polymer concentration have much larger slopes for propidium binding to poly[d(A-T)2] than to poly(dA.dT).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We report the volumetric and other thermodynamic properties of ethidium bromide (EB), propidium iodide (PI) and daunomycin (DAU) intercalating with poly(dA).poly(dT), poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)], and poly[d(G-C)].poly[d(G-C)], respectively, as well as minor groove binder Hoechst 33258 binding with poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)]. The data were obtained using fluorescence titration and hydrostatic pressure measurements. Our thermodynamic data are combined with enthalpies from literature reports to analyze the thermodynamic characteristics of the different interactions. The differences are interpreted based on three processes related to hydration: I. burial of non-polar hydrophobic solvent accessible surface, II. burial of polar surface and formation of solute-solute H-bonds, and III. disruption of "structural" hydration. Sequence dependent conformational changes may also be important when comparing ligand binding to different DNA sequences. We conclude that a combination of different thermodynamic parameters, especially volume change, is essential in order to understand the role of hydration in the energetics of DNA-ligand interactions. 相似文献

When meso-tetrakis(3-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin (m-TMPyP) formed a complex with poly[d(A-T)(2)], an intense bisignate excitonic CD in the Soret absorption region was observed. The excitonic CD of the m-TMPyP-poly[d(A-T)(2)] complex is unique in that no other combination of the related porphyrin, namely, meso-tetrakis(n-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin (where n = 2, 4), and polynucleotide including calf thymus DNA, poly[d(G-C)(2)], poly[d(I-C)(2)], and poly(dA).poly(dT), exhibits a comparable CD spectrum. From the [drug]/[DNA] ratio-dependence of the intensity and the shape of the CD spectrum, this porphyrin species is assigned to an extensively aggregated form. The extensively aggregated porphyrin disperses in 1 h after mixing to form moderately stacked porphyrin at a low mixing ratio. The magnitude of linear dichroism of the extensively aggregated porphyrin was small and the sign was negative in the Soret band, which indicated that the molecular plane of porphyrin in the complex is strongly tilted. On the other hand, the molecular plane of porphyrin is almost parallel to the DNA base plane (perpendicular to the DNA helix axis) in the moderately stacked form. 相似文献

Abstract In the present work, we employed UV-VIS spectroscopy, fluorescence methods, and circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) to study the interaction of dye Hoechst 33258, Hoechst 33342, and their derivatives to poly[d(AT)]·poly[d(AT)], poly(dA)·poly(dT), and DNA dodecamer with the sequence 5′-CGTATATATACG-3′. We identified three types of complexes formed by Hoechst 33258, Hoechst 33342, and methylproamine with DNA, corresponding to the binding of each drug in monomer, dimer, and tetramer forms. In a dimer complex, two dye molecules are sandwiched in the same place of the minor DNA groove. Our data show that Hoechst 33258, Hoechst 33342, and methylproamine also form complexes of the third type that reflects binding of dye associates (probably tetramers) to DNA. Substitution of a hydrogen atom in the ortho position of the phenyl ring by a methyl group has a little effect on binding of monomers to DNA. However it reduces strength of binding of tetramers to DNA. In contrast, a Hoechst derivative containing the ortho-isopropyl group in the phenyl ring exhibits a low affinity to poly(dA)·poly(dT) and poly[d(AT)]·poly[d(AT)] and binds to DNA only in the monomer form. This can be attributed to a sterical hindrance caused by the ortho-isopropyl group for side-by-side accommodation of two dye molecules in the minor groove. Our experiments show that mode of binding of Hoechst 33258 derivatives and their affinity for DNA depend on substituents in the ortho position of the phenyl ring of the dye molecule. A statistical mechanical treatment of binding of Hoechst 33258 and its derivatives to a polynucleotide lattice is described and used for determination of binding parameters of Hoechst 33258 and its derivatives to poly[d(AT)]·poly[d(AT)] and poly(dA)·poly(dT). 相似文献

By utilizing circular and linear dichroism, the binding mode of meso-tetrakis(n-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin (n = 2, 3, 4) to various DNAs was studied in this work. 2-N-(methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin(o-TMPyP), in which rotation of the periphery pyridinium ring is prevented, exhibits similar spectral properties when bound to DNA, poly[d(G-C)(2)] and poly[d(A-T)(2)], suggesting a similar binding mode. Close analysis of the spectral properties led us to conclude that o-TMPyP sits in the major groove. However, both 3-N- and 4-N-(methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin (m- and p-TMPyP), of which the periphery pyridinium ring is free to rotate, intercalate between the basepairs of DNA and poly[d(G-C)(2)]. In the presence of poly[d(A-T)(2)], m-TMPyP exhibits a typical bisignate excitonic CD spectrum in the Soret band, while p-TMPyP shows two positive CD bands. The excitonic CD spectrum of the m-TMPyP-poly[d(A-T)(2)] complex and the positive CD band of the o-TMPyP-poly[d(A-T)(2)] complex were not affected by the presence of the minor groove binding drug, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), indicating that this porphyrin is bound in the major groove. In contrast, two positive CD bands of the p-TMPyP-poly[d(A-T)(2)] complex altered in the presence of DAPI. From the changes in CD spectrum and other spectral properties, a few possible binding modes for p-TMPyP to poly[d(A-T)(2)] are suggested. 相似文献

A derivative of RNA polymerase containing approximately 2 pyrene equiv per enzyme molecule has been used to study the interaction of RNA polymerase with poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] and poly[d-(G-C)].poly[d(G-C)]. As monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy, pyrenyl RNA polymerase displays a unique set of conformational changes with each synthetic polynucleotide as a function of temperature. An increase in the fluorescence intensity was observed for both polynucleotides at 5 degrees C. A decrease was observed in the case of poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] at 25 and 37 degrees C, whereas no discernible perturbation was observed in the case of poly[d(G-C)].poly[d(G-C)]. Different salt dependencies were observed for the interaction of pyrenyl RNA polymerase with these polynucleotides at 5 and 25 degrees C. Further characterization of these interactions as well as correlation of the observed fluorescence changes to the corresponding open and closed complexes was carried out with heparin. The interaction between pyrenyl RNA polymerase and poly[d-(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] at 25 degrees C was quantified by using two different methods.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Bis(pyrrolecarboxamide) linked to intercalating chromophore oxazolopyridocarbazole (OPC): selective binding to DNA and polynucleotides. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have investigated some properties related to interaction with DNA and recognition of AT-rich sequences of netropsin-oxazolopyridocarbazole (Net-OPC) (Mrani et al., 1990), which is a hybrid groove-binder-intercalator. The hybrid molecule Net-OPC binds to poly[d(A-T)] at two different sites with Kapp values close to 7 x 10(6) and 6 x 10(8) M-1 (100 mM NaCl, pH 7.0). Data obtained from melting experiments are in agreement with these values and indicate that Net-OPC displays a higher binding constant to poly[d(A-T)] than does netropsin. On the basis of viscometric and energy transfer data, the binding of Net-OPC to poly[d(A-T)] is suggested to involve both intercalation and external binding of the OPC chromophore. In contrast, on poly[d(G-C)], Net-OPC binds to a single type of site composed of two base pairs in which the OPC chromophore appears to be mainly intercalated. The binding constant of Net-OPC to poly[d(G-C)] was found to be about 350-fold lower than that of the high-affinity binding site in poly[d(A-T)]. As evidenced by footprinting data, Net-OPC selectively recognizes TTAA and CTT sequences and strongly protects the 10-bp AT-rich DNA region 3'-TTAAGAACTT-5' containing the EcoRI site. The binding of Net-OPC to this sequence results in a strong and selective inhibition of the activity of the restriction endonuclease EcoRI on the plasmid pBR322 as substrate. The extent of inhibition of the rate constant of the first strand break catalyzed by the enzyme is about 100-fold higher than the one observed in the presence of netropsin under similar experimental conditions. 相似文献

The interactions of two positional isomers and one analogue of meso-tetra (4-N-methylpyridyl) porphine, with the synthetic polynucleotides poly[d(A-T)] . poly[d(A-T)] and poly[d(G-C)] . poly[d(G-C)] have been investigated by circular dichroism. All four porphyrins were found to bind to the polynucleotides as shown by the induction of circular dichroism in their Soret bands. Furthermore, the sign of the induced ellipticity reflects selective occupation of binding sites by the porphyrin ligands. The conformational lability of poly[d(A-T)] X poly[d(A-T)] was found to be appreciable as micromolar amounts of meso-substituted 4-N-methylpyridyl, 3-N-methylpyridyl, and p-N-trimethylanilinium porphines induced a CD spectrum similar but not identical to that of DNA in the Z-form, i.e. a negative band at 280 nm and a positive band at 259 nm. The effect of porphyrin binding to poly[d(G-C)] X poly[d(G-C)] was less pronounced and dissimilar to that seen in the AT polymer. 相似文献

Right- and left-handed helixes of poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] investigated by infrared spectroscopy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The secondary structures of double-stranded poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] in films have been studied by IR spectroscopy with three different counterions (Na+, Cs+, and Ni2+) and a wide variety of water content conditions (relative humidity between 100 and 47%). In addition to the A-, B-, C-, and D-form spectra, a new IR spectrum has been obtained in the presence of nickel ions. The IR spectra of Ni2+-poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] films are analyzed by comparison with previously assigned IR spectra of left-handed poly[d(G-C)].poly[d(G-C)] and poly[d(A-C)].poly[d(G-T)], and it is possible to conclude that they reflect a Z-type structure for poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)]. The Z conformation has been favored by the high polynucleotide concentration, by the low water content of the films, and by specific interactions of the transition metal ions with the purine bases stabilized in a syn conformation. A structuration of the water hydration molecules around the double-stranded Ni2+-poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] is shown by the presence of a strong sharp water band at 1615 cm-1. 相似文献

The binding of the macrocycle SDM to DNA was investigated by visible spectroscopy, stopped-flow kinetics, and NMR spectroscopy. SDM is composed of two 9-aminoacridines linked via the amino groups by a spermine side chain and via the 4-positions by a N,N'-[(methylthio)ethyl]succinamide side chain [Zimmerman, S. C., Lamberson, C. R., Cory, M., & Fairley, T. A. (1989) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 111, 6805-6809]. The visible spectrum of SDM bound to poly[d(A-T)]2 or poly[d(G-C)]2 is red-shifted relative to the spectrum of SDM alone and displays considerable hypochromicity. Results from titrations of SDM with polymer indicate a binding site size of three base pairs per macrocycle. The dissociation constant for SDM bound to either poly[d(A-T)]2 or poly[d(G-C)]2 is an order of magnitude lower than that for a similar bisacridine linked only by a spermine side chain. In addition, the dependence of the dissociation constant on ionic strength is significantly reduced. NMR studies of SDM complexes with poly[d(A-T)]2 or a tetramer, d(CGCG)2, show that intercalation is the mode of binding. The magnitudes of the chemical shift differences for SDM aromatic protons in the free and bound states support intercalation with the acridine ring systems essentially parallel to the long axis of the base pairs. Cross peaks from NOESY spectra of the SDM complex with d(CGCG)2 further support this mode of binding and provide information on the structure of the complex. The results are analyzed for consistency with each of three binding models: (i) bisintercalation with the two side chains in the same groove; (ii) bisintercalation according to the neighbor-exclusion principle with the two side chains in opposite grooves; and (iii) bisintercalation with two side chains in opposite grooves but with violation of the neighbor-exclusion principle. Model i is found to be unlikely on the basis of all evidence obtained, including preliminary modeling studies. Both models ii and iii can be reconciled with the experimental evidence and from a modeling standpoint are energetically feasible. 相似文献

Oxidative degradation of cationic metalloporphyrins in the presence of nucleic acids: a way to binding constants? 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Mn(III) and Fe(III) complexes of meso-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin (M-TMePyP) and related hybrid molecules ("metalloporphyrin-ellipticine") were activated by potassium monopersulfate in the presence of variable calf thymus (CT) DNA and NaCl concentrations. Monitored by visible spectroscopy (Soret band), fast degradation of the free metalloprophyrin was observed while the DNA-bound form appeared protected. This direct quantitation of free versus bound metalloporphyrin ratios allowed determination of binding constants: Mn- and Fe-TMePyP respectively bind to CT DNA (5 mM phosphate buffer, 0.1 M NaCl, pH 7) with K = 3 X 10(4) and 1.2 X 10(4) M-1. Mn-TMePyP showed a greater affinity for poly[d(A-T)] (K = 1.2 X 10(5) M-1) than for poly[d(G-C)] (K = 0.2 X 10(4) M-1). This method allowed us access to the intrinsic DNA affinity of the metalloporphyrin moiety of the hybrid molecules "metalloporphyrin-ellipticine". 相似文献
