A new method is described for the study of specific interactions of low-molecular ligands with the base pairs of DNA. This method is based on the comparative analysis of melting temperature changes in DNAs of different GC-content in the presence of low molecular weight ligands. In this paper, the method is applied to Mn2+, Ni2+, Co2+ ions, deprotonation, amino acids, beta-alanine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (gamma-ABA). Differences in Tm are affected not only by the changes of relative stability of AT- and GC-pairs, but also by other factors. A theoretical analysis of the sequence specificity of low-molecular ligands on the base pairs in DNA molecules characterized by a high degree of sequence heterogeneity is also presented.
本文描述了一种研究低分子配体与DNA碱基对特异性相互作用的新方法。该方法基于在低分子量配体存在下,对不同GC含量的DNA解链温度变化进行比较分析。本文将该方法应用于Mn2+、Ni2+、Co2+离子、去质子化作用、氨基酸、β-丙氨酸和γ-氨基丁酸(γ-ABA)。解链温度的差异不仅受AT对和GC对相对稳定性变化的影响,还受其他因素影响。本文还对具有高度序列异质性的DNA分子中低分子配体与碱基对的序列特异性进行了理论分析。
