Poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC) was modified by reaction with N-acetoxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene (N-AcO-AAF). Two samples with 6.6% and 8.5% modified bases were prepared. The modified bases are randomly distributed along the polymer chain, as deduced from competition experiments between antibodies against N-2-(guanosin-8-yl)-acetylaminofluorene, modified poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC), and modified DNAs. Circular dichroism studies show that poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC) modified by N-AcO-AAF is much more sensitive to the addition of alcohol than poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC). In about 50% (vol/vol) alcohol, both polynucleotides have the same conformation, which is the Z form or a Z-like form. Moreover, in low salt and in the absence of alcohol, poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC) modified by N-AcO-AAF is partially in the Z form. Poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC) modified by N-hydroxy-N-2-aminofluorene can also adopt the Z form, but the transition is induced at a higher percentage than that of poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC) modified by N-AcO-AAF. In low salt and in the absence of alcohol, no Z form was detected in poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC) modified by N-hydroxy-N-2-aminofluorene.
聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)通过与N-乙酰氧基-N-乙酰基-2-氨基芴(N-AcO-AAF)反应进行修饰。制备了两个修饰碱基含量分别为6.6%和8.5%的样品。从针对N-2-(鸟苷-8-基)-乙酰氨基芴、修饰的聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)和修饰DNA的抗体之间的竞争实验推断,修饰碱基沿聚合物链随机分布。圆二色性研究表明,N-AcO-AAF修饰的聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)比聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)对添加醇更为敏感。在约50%(体积/体积)的醇中,两种多核苷酸具有相同的构象,即Z型或类Z型。此外,在低盐和无醇的情况下,N-AcO-AAF修饰的聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)部分呈Z型。N-羟基-N-2-氨基芴修饰的聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)也可呈现Z型,但转变所需的百分比高于N-AcO-AAF修饰的聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)。在低盐和无醇的情况下,未检测到N-羟基-N-2-氨基芴修饰的聚(dG-dC)·聚(dG-dC)呈Z型。
