Pyrrolobenzodiazepines as Sequence Selective DNA Binding Agents
The heritability of cancers is usually affected by complex interactions between carcinogens and the host's genome. New aspects of the genetics of cancer pathogenesis, such as DNA methylation, and micro RNAs are increasingly recognized as important events. Chemotherapeutic drugs interfere with cell division in different ways, e.g. with the duplication of DNA or the separation of newly formed chr...
متن کاملSequence-selective binding of an ellipticine derivative to DNA.
The DNA sequence specificity of an ellipticine derivative bearing an aminoalkyl side chain has been determined by a variety of footprinting methods. The drug exhibits sequence selective binding and discriminates against runs of adenines or thymines. Binding is shown to occur at various sequences with a preference for GC rich regions of DNA. A large enhancement of DNAase I and of hydroxyl radica...
متن کاملGenome-Scale DNA Sequence Recognition by Hybridization to Short Oligomers
Recently developed hybridization technology (Drmanac et al. 1994) enables economical large-scale detection of short oligomers within DNA fragments. The newly developed recognition method (Milosavljević 1995b) enables comparison of lists of oligomers detected within DNA fragments against known DNA sequences. We here describe an experiment involving a set of 4,513 distinct genomic E.coli clones o...
متن کاملProtection of tobacco cells from oxidative copper toxicity by catalytically active metal-binding DNA oligomers.
The impact of copper ions on the oxidative and calcium signal transductions, leading to cell death in plant cells, have been documented. Copper induces a series of biological and chemical reactions in plant cells including the oxidative burst reflecting the production of reactive oxygen species and the stimulation of calcium channel opening allowing a transient increase in cytosolic calcium con...
متن کاملSelective Binding of Cyclic Nanopeptide with Halides and Ion Pairs; a DFT-D3 Study
In this article, theoretical studies on the selective complexation of the halide ions (F¯, Cl¯ and Br¯) and ion pairs (Na+F¯, Na+Cl¯ and Na+Br¯) with the cyclic nano-hexapeptide (CP) composed of L-proline have been performed in the gas phase. In order to calculate the dispersion interaction energies of the CP and ions, DFT-D3 calculations at the M05-2X-D3/6-31G(d) level was employed. Based on t...
