Structure of a stacked anthraquinone-DNA complex.

چکیده
The crystal structure of the telomeric sequence d(UBrAGG) interacting with an anthraquinone derivative has been solved by MAD. In all previously studied complexes of intercalating drugs, the drug is usually sandwiched between two DNA base pairs. Instead, the present structure looks like a crystal of stacked anthraquinone molecules in which isolated base pairs are intercalated. Unusual base pairs are present in the structure, such as G.G and A.UBr reverse Watson-Crick base pairs.

Three-Dimensional Structure and Reactivity of a Photochemical Cleavage Agent Bound to DNA
Irradiation of the anthraquinone derivative N,N-Bis(3-aminopropyl)-2-anthraquinonesulfonamide dihydrochloride (AQS2) when bound to DNA leads to strand cleavage, primarily at GG steps. The 1.8 Å X-ray structure of AQS2 bound to the DNA duplex [d(CGTACG)]2 shows an intercalated, groove-reversed complex with the out-of-plane “swallow tail” located in the major groove. Two molecules of AQS2 bind wi...
متن کاملThe charge-transfer complex 1-aminoanthraquinone–7,7′,8,8′-tetracyanoquinodimethane (1/1)
The reaction of 1-amino-anthraquinone with 7,7',8,8'-tetra-cyano-quinodimethane yielded the title charge-transfer complex, C(14)H(9)NO(2)·C(12)H(4)N(4). The mol-ecules have maximum deviations from the mean planes through the non-H atoms of 0.0769 (14) Å for an oxo O atom and 0.1175 (17) Å for a cyano N atom, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two planes is 3.55 (3)°. In the crystal, m...

In this paper, we proposed a 2-D analytical model for electrical characteristics such as surface potential, electric field and drain current of Silicon-on-Insulator Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (SOI TFETs) with a SiO2/High-k stacked gate-oxide structure. By using superposition principle with suitable boundary conditions, the Poisson’s equation has been solved to model the channel r...

Extraction of intact quality DNA from plant tissues, especially those rich in secondary metabolites, is often challenging. Literally, hundreds of different DNA isolation protocols from various plant species have been published over the last decades. Although many commercial DNA isolation kits are convenient and designed to be safe, their cost and availability cause limitations in small molecula...
متن کاملRadiation-induced double-strand modification in calf thymus DNA in the presence of 1,2-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone and its Cu(II) complex.
When cells or DNA is exposed to ionizing radiation, the radicals produced in the irradiated sample will modify the base-pair region of the double strands. Effects of 1,2-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone (DHA) and its Cu(II) complex on the radiation-induced modification of double-strands in calf thymus DNA were studied using ethidium bromide as a fluorescent probe. Our results show that the Cu(II)-D...
