Polyaromatic molecules with amino chain substituents, upon binding with DNA, selectively catalyze exchange of the A.T base pair protons with bulk water protons. The amine-catalyzed exchange is mediated by compounds which are A.T and G.C base sequence specific, intercalators, and outside binders. A mechanism for the selective exchange, involving transient opening and closing of individual A.T base pairs in the duplex, is discussed.
带有氨基链取代基的多芳族分子在与DNA结合后,会选择性地催化A.T碱基对质子与大量水质子的交换。胺催化的交换由对A.T和G.C碱基序列具有特异性的化合物、嵌入剂及外部结合剂介导。本文讨论了一种选择性交换机制,该机制涉及双链中单个A.T碱基对的瞬时打开和关闭。
