Groove specificity: pyrrole-imidazole polyamides are well-known for their specific interactions with the minor groove of DNA. However, polyamides do not show similar binding to duplex RNA, and a structural rationale for the molecular-level discrimination of nucleic acid duplexes by minor-groove-binding ligands is presented.
吡咯-咪唑聚酰胺以其与 DNA 小沟的特异性相互作用而闻名。然而,聚酰胺对双链 RNA 没有类似的结合作用,并且提出了一个结构原理,用于解释小沟结合配体对核酸双链的分子水平区分。
