The reversible binding of neocarzinostatin chromophore to polynucleotides was studied in order to understand the molecular basis of its base sequence-specificity in DNA damage production. Studies of the spectroscopic and thermodynamic properties of chromophore-polynucleotide interactions reveal that the binding of the chromophore to poly(dA-dT) is qualitatively and quantitatively different from that to poly(dG-dC) (and poly(dI-dC]. From these and other experiments using double-stranded mixtures of homopolynucleotides, it is proposed that the observed A T specific intercalation might result from differential recognition of minor variations in the B-DNA type structure by the chromophore.
为了理解新制癌菌素发色团在产生DNA损伤时碱基序列特异性的分子基础,研究了其与多核苷酸的可逆结合。对发色团 - 多核苷酸相互作用的光谱和热力学性质的研究表明,发色团与聚(dA - dT)的结合在性质和数量上与聚(dG - dC)(和聚(dI - dC))不同。从这些以及其他使用同聚核苷酸双链混合物的实验中,有人提出观察到的AT特异性嵌入可能是由于发色团对B - DNA型结构中微小变化的差异识别所致。
