spectra of the probe-DNA complexes. The probes are achiral and binding to the helix leads to induced CD spectra in the 300–400 nm region, away from the DNA absorption bands. The positive CD bands observed indicate intercalation of the anthryl chromophore with its long axis perpendicular to the base-pair dyad axis. Fluorescence polarization data clearly support intercalation of both probes into the above
此处报道了几何异构体9(3-氨基丙基)蒽(APAC)和9(N-乙基)氨基甲基蒽(N-Et-AMAC)的合成和DNA结合特性。APAC的氨丙基侧链可以将氨基官能团定位在DNA凹槽中,以便与杂环碱基进行氢键键合。相反,N-Et-AMAC的N-乙基-氨基甲基侧链太短而无法在凹槽中接触。使用吸收,荧光,圆二色性(CD),单重态-单重态能量转移和DNA熔解实验检查DNA的结合特性。除了小牛胸腺DNA(CTDNA),我们还检查了poly(dA-dT),poly(dG-dC),poly(dA)-poly(dT)和poly(dI-dC)。光谱和热学研究表明蒽基探针插入到螺旋中。然而,结合特性取决于侧链以及DNA序列。APAC与poly(dA-dT)的结合比poly(dG-dC)的结合要好3.4倍,而N-Et-AMAC(APAC的几何异构体)的结合要好,与所检查的所有DNA聚合物几乎相同。通过使用肌苷-胞嘧
