The proton markers located in the minor groove of the d(C-G-C-G-A-A-T-T-C-G-C-G) duplex and its netropsin complex have been assigned from measurements of intramolecular nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs) between exchangeable imino protons and nonexchangeable base protons on the same and adjacent base pairs. Several points of contact between the concave face of the antibiotic and the minor groove d(A-A-T-T) tetranucleotide segment of the dodecanucleotide duplex have been established based on intermolecular NOE effects between the pyrrole ring and side-chain methylene protons of netropsin and the adenosine H-2 protons of dA X dT base pairs in the center of the duplex. These NOE measurements provide a powerful method for differentiating between minor and major groove contacts in ligand-DNA complexes in solution. A model for netropsin interaction at dA X dT sites on duplex DNA is proposed.
通过测量可交换亚氨基质子与同一碱基对及相邻碱基对中不可交换碱基质子之间的分子内核Overhauser效应(NOE),已确定了位于d(C-G-C-G-A-A-T-T-C-G-C-G)双链体及其与纺锤菌素复合物小沟中的质子标记。基于纺锤菌素的吡咯环和侧链亚甲基质子与双链体中心dA×dT碱基对的腺苷H-2质子之间的分子间NOE效应,已确定了抗生素凹面与十二核苷酸双链体小沟d(A-A-T-T)四核苷酸片段之间的几个接触点。这些NOE测量为区分溶液中配体-DNA复合物中小沟和大沟接触提供了一种有力方法。提出了双链DNA上dA×dT位点处纺锤菌素相互作用的模型。
