The formation of oligomeric duplex molecules in the presence of the antibiotic netropsin in the series p(dA)n-p(dT)n is demonstrated using low-temperature CD measurements. Addition of Netropsin to mixtures of oligomers generates the same type of CD spectra as observed for poly(dA)-poly(dT) and maintains the duplex structure at temperatures at which base pairing of free oligomers is thermodynamically unstable. The shortest chain length forming a netropsin complex by thymine-specific interaction with the oligopeptide is represented by p(dA)4-p(dt)4. Studies with sequence isomers show that adjacent thymine residues strongly favour the complex formation with the oligopeptide.
利用低温圆二色性测量证明了在抗生素纺锤菌素存在下,p(dA)n-p(dT)n系列中寡聚双链分子的形成。将纺锤菌素添加到寡聚物混合物中会产生与聚(dA)-聚(dT)所观察到的相同类型的圆二色光谱,并在游离寡聚物的碱基配对在热力学上不稳定的温度下维持双链结构。通过与寡肽的胸腺嘧啶特异性相互作用形成纺锤菌素复合物的最短链长由p(dA)4-p(dt)4表示。对序列异构体的研究表明,相邻的胸腺嘧啶残基强烈有利于与寡肽形成复合物。
