CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF THE B-FORM DNA-RNA CHIMER (5'-D(*IP*)-R(*CP*)-D(*IP*)-R(*CP*)-D(*IP*CP*IP*C)-3') COMPLEXED WITH DISTAMYCIN
|
OverviewOverview
Two DNA-RNA chimers, complexed with DNA minor groove binding drugs, have been observed to adopt the B-form conformation for the first time. Thus, the RNA duplex may assume the B-DNA conformation when interacting with drugs, peptides or proteins.
