Binding of bleomycin to DNA: intercalation of the bithiazole rings.

abstract：:Reaction of poly(dA-[2'S-3H]dU) with activated bleomycin yields [3H]uracil propenal that completely retains the tritium label. In contrast, we have previously shown that reaction of poly(dA-[2'R-3H]dU) with activated bleomycin affords unlabeled uracil propenal [Wu, J. C., Kozarich, J. W., & Stubbe, J. (1983) J. Biol. ...
