Abstract excerpt
Using the X-ray crystal structure of the human topoisomerase I (TOP1)-DNA cleavable complex, we have developed a general model for the ternary drug-DNA-TOP1 cleavable complex formed with camptothecin (CPT) and its analogues. This model has the drug intercalated between the -1 and +1 base pairs, with the E-ring pointing into the minor groove and the A-ring directed toward the major groove. The ternary complex is...
