Abstract:
:In order to further characterize the binding of the hybrid molecule NetOPC [bis(pyrrolecarboxamide)-oxazolopyridocarbazole conjugate] to double-stranded DNA, we have performed a molecular modeling study to investigate the binding modes of the complexes possibly formed between NetOPC and synthetic polynucleotides poly [(dA-dT)]2, poly [(dA).d(T)], and poly [d(G-C)]2 and interpreted the results in the light of the experimentally determined binding parameters. In agreement with experimental data, the modeling study suggests that whatever was the binding mode of the complex formed, the complexation energy is markedly lower (thus favorable) for AT-containing polynucleotides than for poly d[(G-C)]2. With both poly [d(A).d(T)] and poly [d(A-T)]2, the most energetically favored complex has netropsin and OPC moieties bound simultaneously in the minor groove of DNA. The second favored complex exhibits the bimodal binding, i.e., intercalation of OPC and minor groove binding of the netropsin moiety. For both types of complex, the energy of complex formation is slightly lower with poly [d(A).d(T)]. The binding site sizes of the modeled complexes are about seven and four base pairs to the full groove and bimodal binding, respectively.
