The investigation of intercalation complex of deoxyheptanucleotide d(GCGAAGC) hairpin and anthracycline antibiotic daunomycin (DAU) in aqueous-saline solution has been performed by one-and two-dimensional 1 H NMR spectroscopy and molecular mechanics methods. The equilibrium thermodynamic parameters of complexation have been obtained. The spatial structure of the complex has been calculated and the comparative analysis of conformational and energetic parameters of associated and free heptamer hairpin has been carried out. The molecular dynamics of the complex in nanosecond time scale has been studied and mobility of its structure elements has been evaluated. The interaction of the complex of heptamer-DAU with nearest hydration shell has been analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
