Strong DNA deformation required for extremely slow DNA threading intercalation by a binuclear ruthenium complex
DNA intercalation by threading is expected to yield high affinity and slow dissociation, properties desirable for DNA-targeted therapeutics. To measure these properties, we utilize single molecule DNA stretching to quantify both the binding affinity and the force-dependent threading intercalation kinetics of the binuclear ruthenium complex Δ,Δ-[μ-bidppz-(phen)4Ru2]4+ (Δ,Δ-P). We measure the DNA...
متن کاملBridging ligand length controls at selectivity and enantioselectivity of binuclear ruthenium threading intercalators.
The slow dissociation of DNA threading intercalators makes them interesting as model compounds in the search for new DNA targeting drugs, as there appears to be a correlation between slow dissociation and biological activity. Thus, it would be of great value to understand the mechanisms controlling threading intercalation, and for this purpose we have investigated how the length of the bridging...
متن کاملInteractions of binuclear ruthenium(II) complexes with oligonucleotides in hydrogel matrix: enantioselective threading intercalation into GC context.
A stretched poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) film provides a unique matrix that enables also short DNA oligonucleotide duplex to be oriented and studied by linear dichroism (LD). This matrix further allows controlling DNA secondary structure by proper hydration (A or B form), and such humid films could potentially also mimic the molecular crowding in cellular contexts. However, early attempts to study...
متن کاملThreading intercalation to double-stranded DNA and the application to DNA sensing. Electrochemical array technique*
Electrochemical labeling of double-stranded (ds) DNA is achieved by redox-active DNA intercalators. Threading intercalators derived from naphthalenediimide appended with ferrocene reporter group in the side arms are particularly useful for this purpose. This allows a sensitive electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization on an array, providing a great potential for low-cost, high-throughput, ...
متن کاملDNA intercalation without flipping in the specific ThaI–DNA complex
The PD-(D/E)XK type II restriction endonuclease ThaI cuts the target sequence CG/CG with blunt ends. Here, we report the 1.3 Å resolution structure of the enzyme in complex with substrate DNA and a sodium or calcium ion taking the place of a catalytic magnesium ion. The structure identifies Glu54, Asp82 and Lys93 as the active site residues. This agrees with earlier bioinformatic predictions an...
