Decrease in interstitial pH of the tumor stroma and over-expression of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors by several types of neoplastic cells have been suggested to be important determinants of selective retention of photosensitizers by proliferative tissues. The interactions of chlorin e6 (Ce6), a photosensitizer bearing three carboxylic groups, with plasma proteins and DOPC unilamellar vesicles are investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The binding constant to liposomes, with reference to the DOPC concentration, is 6 x 10(3) M(-1) at pH 7.4. Binding of Ce6 to LDL involves about ten high affinity sites close to the apoprotein and some solubilization in the lipid compartment. The overall association constant is 5.7 x 10(7) M(-1) at pH 7.4. Human serum albumin (HSA) is the major carrier (association constant 1.8 x 10(8) M(-1) at pH 7.4). Whereas the affinity of Ce6 for LDL and liposomes increases at lower pH, it decreases for albumin. Between pH 7.4 and 6.5, the relative affinities of Ce6 for LDL versus HSA, and for membranes versus HSA, are multiplied by 4.6 and 3.5, respectively. These effects are likely driven by the ionization equilibria of the photosensitizer carboxylic chains. Then, the cellular uptake of chlorin e6 may be facilitated by its pH-mediated redistribution within the tumor stroma.  相似文献

Optical absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies were employed in the study of the interaction between synthetic L-dopa (dihydroxyphenylalanine) melanin and the cationic porphyrins tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl) porphyrin (TMPyP), tetrakis(4-N-benzylpyridyl)porphyrin (TBzPyP), zinc tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin (ZnTMPyP) and zinc tetrakis (4-N-benzylpyridyl)porphyrin (ZnTBzPyP). Optical absorption and fluorescence properties of the porphyrins were dependent on the symmetry of the central ring. No evidence was found for dimerization of the porphyrins in phosphate buffer, pH 7, in the concentration range between 4 x 10(-8) to 5 x 10(-5) M. Addition of L-dopa melanin red shifted the optical absorption spectra of porphyrins, concomitant to broadening and reduction in intensity of the bands. L-Dopa melanin also strongly quenched the fluorescence of the porphyrins. Time resolution of the fluorescence decay of porphyrins showed at least two lifetimes that were only slightly modified in the presence of melanin. The interaction between melanin and porphyrin resulted in the formation of non-fluorescent ground state complexes. It was found that there are two different classes of binding sites in melanin for complexation with cationic porphyrins and the values of dissociation constants are of the order of 10(-8) M. These values and the number of binding sites are dependent on the nature of the porphyrins. It was shown that the binding has electrostatic origin, but it is also affected by metal coordination and hydrophobic interaction.  相似文献

Using surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensor analysis and fluorescence spectroscopy, the apparent kinetic constants, k(on) and k(off), and equilibrium dissociation constant, K(d), have been determined for the binding interaction between rabbit skeletal troponin C (TnC) and rabbit skeletal troponin I (TnI) regulatory region peptides: TnI(96-115), TnI(96-131) and TnI(96-139). To carry out SPR analysis, a new peptide delivery/capture system was utilized in which the TnI peptides were conjugated to the E-coil strand of a de novo designed heterodimeric coiled-coil domain. The TnI peptide conjugates were then captured via dimerization to the opposite strand (K-coil), which was immobilized on the biosensor surface. TnC was then injected over the biosensor surface for quantitative binding analysis. For fluorescence spectroscopy analysis, the environmentally sensitive fluoroprobe 5-((((2-iodoacetyl)amino)ethyl)amino) naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (1,5-IAEDANS) was covalently linked to Cys98 of TnC and free TnI peptides were added. SPR analysis yielded equilibrium dissociation constants for TnC (plus Ca(2+)) binding to the C-terminal TnI regulatory peptides TnI(96-131) and TnI(96-139) of 89nM and 58nM, respectively. The apparent association and dissociation rate constants for each interaction were k(on)=2.3x10(5)M(-1)s(-1), 2.0x10(5)M(-1)s(-1) and k(off)=2.0x10(-2)s(-1), 1.2x10(-2)s(-1) for TnI(96-131) and TnI(96-139) peptides, respectively. These results were consistent with those obtained by fluorescence spectroscopy analysis: K(d) being equal to 130nM and 56nM for TnC-TnI(96-131) and TnC-TnI(96-139), respectively. Interestingly, although the inhibitory region peptide (TnI(96-115)) was observed to bind with an affinity similar to that of TnI(96-131) by fluorescence analysis (K(d)=380nM), its binding was not detected by SPR. Subsequent investigations examining salt effects suggested that the binding mechanism for the inhibitory region peptide is best characterized by an electrostatically driven fast on-rate ( approximately 1x10(8) to 1x10(9)M(-1)s(-1)) and a fast off-rate ( approximately 1x10(2)s(-1)). Taken together, the determination of these kinetic rate constants permits a clearer view of the interactions between the TnC and TnI proteins of the troponin complex.  相似文献

The binding of bivalent metal ions Cu2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Mg2+ to low-density lipoproteins (LDL) was investigated by the ESR technique. The monitoring of ESR spectra of paramagnetic Mn2+ ions in the presence of above-listed cations made it possible to evaluate the dissociation constants of their complexes with LDL. The effective dissociation constant of the complex Mn(2+)-LDL used for calculations was KD = (1.1 +/- 0.4) x 10(-4) M according to literature data. The investigated cations may be classified into two groups: 1) low dissociation constants were characteristic for Cu2+ ions [KD = (1.3 +/- 0.5) x 10(-4) M], which demonstrated a high oxidative ability, and for Zn2+ [KD = (0.95 +/- 0.45) x 10(-4) M] and Mn2+ ions, which could strongly influence the copper-induced LDL oxidation; 2) Ca2+ and Mg2+ were characterized by higher values of KD [(6 +/- 1) x 10(-4) M and (7.5 +/- 1.5) x 10(-4) M, accordingly] and slightly affected the Cu(2+)-induced oxidation of LDL. The results of the present work reinforced our earlier conjecture that cations may influence the process of lipid peroxidation, binding only to particular binding sites on the surface of LDL.  相似文献

DSS1 and DSS2 are two oversulfated dermatan sulfate derivatives with sulfur contents of 7.8% and 11.5%, respectively. DSS1 and DSS2 both enhanced the rate at which antithrombin (AT) inactivates thrombin according to a concentration dependent manner. The analysis of the experimental data, using our previously described kinetic model [Biomaterials1997, 18, 203] (i) suggested that both DSS1 and DSS2 catalyzed the thrombin-AT reaction according to a mechanism in which the oversulfated derivative quickly formed with AT a complex, which was more reactive towards thrombin than the free inhibitor and (ii) allowed us to determine the dissociation constants of the polysaccharide-inhibitor complexes, which were (1.15 +/- 0.74) x 10(-7) and (7.17 +/- 0.65) x 10(-9) M, and the catalyzed reaction rate constants, which were (2.29 +/- 0.15) x 10(8) and (8.71 +/- 0.08) x 10(8) M(-1) min(-1), for DSS1 and DSS2, respectively. These data suggested that the oversulfation confers an affinity for AT to dermatan sulfate and that the higher the sulfur content the higher the affinity for AT. They also suggested that the reactivities of the polysaccharide-AT complexes formed towards the protease increased with the sulfur content.  相似文献

We have used fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to analyze the interaction of GTP-tubulin with rhodamine-labeled RB3, a neural protein of the stathmin family, and to determine the kinetic pathway of the association process. RB3 displayed slow association-dissociation kinetics with tubulin depending on the square of the tubulin concentration. The values of the apparent association and dissociation rate constants of the complex of two tubulin dimers and RB3 are determined to be (3.52+/-0.14)x10(-3) micro;M(-2)/s and (1.9+/-0.6)x10(-3) s(-1) respectively. The value of the equilibrium dissociation constant for the first tubulin-RB3 interaction is estimated to be >or=7 microM at 20 degrees C.  相似文献

The complete catalytic cycle of EcoRV endonuclease has been observed by combining fluorescence anisotropy with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements. Binding, bending, and cleavage of substrate oligonucleotides were monitored in real time by rhodamine-x anisotropy and by FRET between rhodamine and fluorescein dyes attached to opposite ends of a 14-mer DNA duplex. For the cognate GATATC site binding and bending are found to be nearly simultaneous, with association and bending rate constants of (1.45-1.6) x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1). On the basis of the measurement of k(off) by a substrate-trapping approach, the equilibrium dissociation constant of the enzyme-DNA complex in the presence of inhibitory calcium ions was calculated as 3.7 x 10(-12) M from the kinetic constants. Further, the entire DNA cleavage reaction can be observed in the presence of catalytic Mg(2+) ions. These measurements reveal that the binding and bending steps occur at equivalent rates in the presence of either Mg(2+) or Ca(2+), while a slow decrease in fluorescence intensity following bending corresponds to k(cat), which is limited by the cleavage and product dissociation steps. Measurement of k(on) and k(off) in the absence of divalent metals shows that the DNA binding affinity is decreased by 5000-fold to 1.4 x 10(-8) M, and no bending could be detected in this case. Together with crystallographic studies, these data suggest a model for the induced-fit conformational change in which the role of divalent metal ions is to stabilize the sharply bent DNA in an orientation suitable for accessing the catalytic transition state.  相似文献

Heparin (HEP) has been covalently immobilized onto 4-aminothiophenol (ATP) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) deposited onto gold (Au)-coated glass plate for low density lipoprotein (LDL) detection. The HEP/ATP/Au and LDL/HEP/ATP/Au electrodes have been characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements reveal that HEP/ATP/Au electrode is sensitive to detection of the LDL in the range 0.03 microM (10 mg/dl)-0.39 microM (130 mg/dl). The values of association and dissociation rate constants in the association phase calculated by kinetic analysis have been found to be k(a) = 9.67 x 10(1) M(-1) s(-1) and k(d) = 2.64 x 10(-4) s(-1).  相似文献

Human and serum lipoproteins interaction with steroid hormones (corticosterone and hydrocortisone) were studied. Methods of fluorescence quenching titration and equilibrium dialysis were used for quantitative evaluation of VLDL, LDL and HDL glucocorticoids binding ability. Association constants were found to be 0.6-2.0 x 10 M for corticosterone and 4.0-8.0 x 10 M for hydrocortisone. The number of binding sites ranged from 3 to 300 for different classes of lipoproteins. Our data suggest high specificity of serum lipoproteins binding with corticosterone and hydrocortisone.  相似文献

Stopped-flow fluorescence anisotropy was used to determine the kinetic parameters that define acetylation-dependent bromodomain-histone interactions. Bromodomains are acetyllysine binding motifs found in many chromatin associated proteins. Individual bromodomains were derived from the polybromo-1 protein, which is a subunit of the PBAF chromatin-remodeling complex that has six tandem bromodomains in the amino-terminal region. The average k(on) and k(off) values for the formation of high-affinity complexes are 275 M(-1) s(-1) and 0.41 x 10(-3) s(-1), respectively. The average k(on) and k(off) values for the formation of low-affinity complexes are 119 M(-1) s(-1) and 1.42 x 10(-3) s(-1), respectively. Analysis of the on- and off-rates yields acetylation site-dependent equilibrium dissociation constants averaging 1.4 and 12.9 microM for high- and low-affinity complexes, respectively. This work represents the first examination of kinetic mechanisms of acetylation-dependent bromodomain-histone interactions.  相似文献

The binding interaction between amphotericin B and human serum albumin (HSA) has been studied using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy combined with a fluorescence quenching method to confirm the binding kinetic results. In this paper, the SPR method used to study the drug-protein interaction has been described in detail. The association rate constant, dissociation rate constant and the equilibrium association constant of amphotericin B binding to HSA were obtained using this method. To confirm the feasibility of the SPR method, a fluorescence quenching method was performed to obtain the equilibrium constant. In order to obtain more accurate results, experiment design was used to optimize the fluorescence quenching process. The two equilibrium association constants obtained using the two methods were 4.017 x 10(4) M(-1) (SPR) and 3.656 x 10(4) M(-1) (fluorescence quenching method) respectively.  相似文献

The coexistence of ERalpha and ERbeta suggests that active receptor complexes are present as homo- or heterodimers. In addition each of three forms of active receptors may trigger different cellular responses. A real-time biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance was used as instrument to determine binding kinetics of homo- and heterodimerization of estrogen receptor alpha and beta. Partially purified full-length estrogen receptor alpha was expressed intracellularly as a C-terminal fusion to a hexa-histidine tag using the baculovirus-expression system. Purified estrogen receptor alpha and beta without tags were used as partners in the dimerization process. An association rate constant of 3.6 x 10(3) to 1.5 x 10(4)M(-1)s(-1) for the homodimer formation of ERalpha and 5.7 x 10(3) to 1.5 x 10(4)M(-1)s(-1) for the heterodimer formation was found assuming a pseudo first-order reaction kinetic. The equilibrium dissociation constant for homodimerization of ERalpha was 2.2 x 10(-8) to 5.4 x 10(-8) and 1.8 x 10(-8) to 2.6 x 10(-8)M for the heterodimer formation. The homo- and heterodimer formation was characterized by a slow association kinetics and kinetic rate constants were within the same range.  相似文献

Chemoattractants added to cells of the cellular slime mold dictyostelium discoideum induce a transient elevation of cyclic GMP levels, with a maximum at 10 s and a recovery of basal levels at approximately 25 s after stimulation. We analyzed the kinetics of an intracellular cGMP binding protein in vitro and in vivo. The cyclic GMP binding protein in vitro at 0 degrees C can be described by its kinetic constants K(1)=2.5 x 10(6) M(- 1)s(-1), k(-1)=3.5 x 10(-3)s(-1), K(d)=1.4 x 10(-9) M, and 3,000 binding sites/cell. In computer simulation experiments the occupancy of the cGMP binding protein was calculated under nonequilibrium conditions by making use of the kinetic constants of the binding protein and of the shape of the cGMP accumulations. These experiments show that under nonequilibrium conditions by making use of the kinetic constants of the binding protein and the shape of the cGMP accumulations. These experiments show that under nonequilibrium conditions the affinity of the binding protein for cGMP is determined by the rate constant of association (k(1)) and not by the dissociation constant (k(d)). Experiments in vivo were performed by stimulation of aggregative cells with the chemoattractant cAMP, which results in a transient cGMP accumulation. At different times after stimulation with various cAMP concentrations, the cells were homogenized and immediately thereafter the number of binding proteins which were not occupied with native cGMP were determined. The results of these experiments in vivo are in good agreement with the results of the computer experiments. This may indicate that: (a) The cGMP binding protein in vivo at 22 degrees C can be described by its kinetic constants: K(1)=4x10(6)M(-1)s(-1) and K(-1)=6x10(-3)s(-1). (b) Binding the cGMP to its binding protein is transient with a maximum at about 20-30 s after chemotactic stimulation, followed by a decay to basal levels, with a half-life of approximately 2 min. (c) The cGMP to its binding proteins get half maximally occupied at a cGMP accumulation of δ[cGMP](10)=2x10(-8) M, which corresponds to an extracellular stimulation of aggregative cells by 10(-10) M cAMP. (d) Since the mean basal cGMP concentration is approximately 2x10(-7) M, the small increase of cGMP cannot be detected accurately. Therefore the absence of a measurable cGMP accumulation does not argue against a cGMP function. (e) There may exist two compartments of cGMP: one contains almost all the cGMP of unstimulated cells, and the other contains cGMP binding proteins and the cGMP which accumulates after chemotactic stimulation. (f) From the kinetics of binding, the cellular responses to the chemoattractant can be divided into two classes: responses which can be mediated by this binding protein (such as light scattering, proton extrusion, PDE induction, and chemotaxis) and responses which cannot be (solely) mediated by this binding protein such as rlay, refractoriness, phospholipids methylation, and protein methylation.  相似文献

c-Myc, the protein product of protooncogene c-myc, functions in cell proliferation, differentiation, and neoplastic disease. In this study, recombinant c-Myc and Max proteins, encompassing DNA binding (basic region) and dimerization (helix-loop-helix/leucine zipper) domain of human origin, were expressed in bacteria as Myc87 and Max85. Myc87 was purified under denatured conditions and was renatured again. The dissociation constant for the protein dimers and for dimer/DNA complexes were not detectable by isothermal titration calorimetry because of the low degree of solubility of Myc87 and Max85. Therefore, we set up equations which were used to determine the dissociation constants from the proportion of protein-DNA complexes. The dimer dissociation constants in TBS were 5.90(+/-0.54)x10(-7)M for Max85/Max85 homodimer, 6.85(+/-0.25)x10(-3)M for Myc87/Myc87 homodimer, and 2.55(+/-0.29)x10(-8)M for Myc87/Max85 heterodimer, and the DNA-binding dissociation constants in TBS were 1.33(+/-0.21)x10(-9)M for Max85/Max85/DNA, 2.27(+/-0.08)x10(-12)M for Myc87/Myc87/DNA, and 4.43(+/-0.37)x10(-10)M for Myc87/Max85/DNA. In addition, we revealed that linoleic acid which is known as an inhibitor for the formation of Max/Max/DNA complex reduced the affinity of Max homodimer for DNA. This result indicates that linoleic acid may bind to the DNA-binding region of Max homodimer.  相似文献

Site-directed mutagenesis was used to make amino acid substitutions at position 54 of skeletal troponin C, testing a relationship between the stability of helix C and calcium ion affinity at regulatory sites in the protein. Normally, threonine at position 54 is the first helical residue, or N-cap, of the C helix; where helices C and D, and the loop between, comprise binding site II. Mutations were made in the context of a previously described phenylalanine 29--> tryptophan (F29W) variant (Trigo-Gonzalez et al., Biochemistry 31, 7009-7015 (1992)), which allows binding events to be monitored through changes in the intrinsic fluorescence of the protein. N-Cap substitutions at position 54 were shown to attenuate the calcium affinity of regulatory sites in the N-terminal domain. Calcium affinities diminished according to the series T54 T54S > T54A > T54V > T54G with dissociation constants of 1.36 x 10(-6), 1.36 x 10(-6), 2.09 x 10(-6), 2.28 x 10(-6), and 4.24 x 10(-6) M, respectively. The steady state binding of calcium to proteins in the mutant series was seen to be monophasic and cooperative. Calcium off-rates were measured by stopped flow fluorescence and in every instance two transitions were observed. The rate constant of the first transition, corresponding to approximately 99% of the change in fluorescence, was between 900+/-20 and 1470+/-100 s(-1), whereas the rate constant of the second transitions was between 94+/-9 and 130+/-23 s(-1). The significance of two transitions remains unclear, though both rate constants occur on a time scale consistent with the regulation of contraction.  相似文献

Three 34-residue peptides corresponding to the high-affinity calcium-binding site III and two variant sequences from the muscle protein troponin C (TnC) were synthesized by solid-phase techniques. The two variant 34-residue peptides had amino acid modifications at either the coordinating positions or both the coordinating and noncoordinating positions, which corresponded to the residues found in the low-affinity calcium-binding site II of TnC. High-field 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to monitor calcium binding to each peptide to determine the effect these amino acid substitutions had on calcium affinity. The dissociation constant of the native site III peptide (SCIII) was 3 x 10(-6) M, smaller than that of the peptide incorporating the ligands from site II (LIIL), 8 x 10(-6) M, and that with the entire site II loop (LII), 3 x 10(-3) M, which bound calcium very weakly. These calcium dissociation constants demonstrate that very minor amino acid substitutions have a significant effect on the dissociation constant and give some insight into why the dissociation constants for site III and IV in TnC are 100-fold smaller than those for sites I and II. The results suggest that the differences in coordinating ligands between sites II and III have very little effect on Ca2+ affinity and that the noncoordinating residues in the site II loop are responsible for the low affinity of site II compared to the high affinity of site III in TnC.  相似文献

The MutT pyrophosphohydrolase, in the presence of Mg2+, catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates by nucleophilic substitution at Pbeta, to yield the nucleotide and PP(i). The best substrate for MutT is the mutagenic 8-oxo-dGTP, on the basis of its Km being 540-fold lower than that of dGTP. Product inhibition studies have led to a proposed uni-bi-iso kinetic mechanism, in which PP(i) dissociates first from the enzyme-product complex (k3), followed by NMP (k4), leaving a product-binding form of the enzyme (F) which converts to the substrate-binding form (E) in a partially rate-limiting step (k5) [Saraswat, V., et al. (2002) Biochemistry 41, 15566-15577]. Single- and multiple-turnover kinetic studies of the hydrolysis of dGTP and 8-oxo-dGTP and global fitting of the data to this mechanism have yielded all of the nine rate constants. Consistent with an "iso" mechanism, single-turnover studies with dGTP and 8-oxo-dGTP hydrolysis showed slow apparent second-order rate constants for substrate binding similar to their kcat/Km values, but well below the diffusion limit (approximately 10(9) M(-1) s(-1)): k(on)app = 7.2 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) for dGTP and k(on)app = 2.8 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) for 8-oxo-dGTP. These low k(on)app values are fitted by assuming a slow iso step (k5 = 12.1 s(-1)) followed by fast rate constants for substrate binding: k1 = 1.9 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) for dGTP and k1 = 0.75 x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) for 8-oxo-dGTP (the latter near the diffusion limit). With dGTP as the substrate, replacing Mg2+ with Mn2+ does not change k1, consistent with the formation of a second-sphere MutT-M2+-(H2O)-dGTP complex, but slows the iso step (k5) 5.8-fold, and its reverse (k(-5)) 25-fold, suggesting that the iso step involves a change in metal coordination, likely the dissociation of Glu-53 from the enzyme-bound metal so that it can function as the general base. Multiple-turnover studies with dGTP and 8-oxo-dGTP show bursts of product formation, indicating partially rate-limiting steps following the chemical step (k2). With dGTP, the slow steps are the chemical step (k2 = 10.7 s(-1)) and the iso step (k5 = 12.1 s(-1)). With 8-oxo-dGTP, the slow steps are the release of the 8-oxo-dGMP product (k4 = 3.9 s(-1)) and the iso step (k5 = 12.1 s(-1)), while the chemical step is fast (k2 = 32.3 s(-1)). The transient kinetic studies are generally consistent with the steady state kcat and Km values. Comparison of rate constants and free energy diagrams indicate that 8-oxo-dGTP, at low concentrations, is a better substrate than dGTP because it binds to MutT 395-fold faster, dissociates 46-fold slower, and has a 3.0-fold faster chemical step. The true dissociation constants (KD) of the substrates from the E-form of MutT, which can now be obtained from k(-1)/k1, are 3.5 nM for 8-oxo-dGTP and 62 microM for dGTP, indicating that 8-oxo-dGTP binds 1.8 x 10(4)-fold tighter than dGTP, corresponding to a 5.8 kcal/mol lower free energy of binding.  相似文献

Naphthyridine dimer composed of two naphthyridine chromophores and a linker connecting them strongly, and selectively, binds to the guanine-guanine mismatch in duplex DNA. The kinetics for the binding of the G-G mismatch to the naphthyridine dimer was investigated by surface plasmon resonance assay. The sensor surface was prepared by immobilizing naphthyridine dimer through a long poly(ethylene oxide) linker with the ligand density of 9.1 x 10(-12) fmolnm(-2). The kinetic analyses revealed that the binding of the G-G mismatch was sequence dependent on the flanking base pairs, and the G-G mismatches flanking at least one G-C base pair bound to the surface via a two-step process with a 1:1 DNA-ligand stoichiometry. The first association rate constant for the binding of the G-G mismatch in the 5'-CGG-3'/3'-GGC-5' sequence to the naphthyridine dimer-immobilized sensor surface was 3.2 x 10(3)M(-1)s(-1) and the first dissociation rate constant was 1.4 x 10(-2)s(-1). The association and dissociation rate constants for the second step were insensitive to the flanking sequences, and were almost of the same order of magnitude as the first dissociation rate constant. This indicates that the second step had only a small energetic contribution to the binding. The association constant calculated from kinetic parameters was 2.7 x 10(5)M(-1), which is significantly smaller than the apparent association constants obtained from experiments in solution. Electrospray ionization time-of-flight (ESI-TOF) mass spectrometry on the complex produced from the G-G mismatch and naphthyridine dimer showed the formation of the 1:1 complex and a 1:2 DNA-ligand complex in solution. The latter complex became the dominant complex when a six-fold excess of naphthyridine dimer was added to DNA.  相似文献
