Abstract excerpt
By using UV thermal denaturation and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), we examine the binding behaviors of a hydrogen bond-forming ligand, 2-acetylamino-7-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine (AcMND), with a guanine base opposite an abasic site (AP site) in a DNA duplex (5'-TCC AGX GCA AC-3'/3'-AGG TCG CGT TG-5', X = AP site, G = target). In the presence of AcMND, the melting temperature (Tm) of the AP site-containing...
