| Abstract | We report the first calorimetric investigation of netropsin binding to poly d(AT). Temperature-dependent uv absorption, circular dichroism (CD), batch calorimetry, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to detect, monitor, and thermodynamically characterize the binding process. The following results have been obtained: 1) Netropsin groove binding is accompanied by a large exothermic enthalpy of 9.2 kcal/mol of drug bound at 25 degrees C. This indicates that a large negative binding enthalpy may be a necessary but not a sufficient criterion for drug intercalation. We suggest that the exothermic binding might be correlated with specific H-bonding interactions. 2) From the difference in DSC transition enthalpies in the presence and absence of netropsin, we calculate a binding enthalpy of -10.7 kcal/mol of netropsin at 88 degrees C. 3) We calculate a positive delta S for netropsin binding to poly d(AT) at 25 degrees C. This positive entropy change may reflect netropsin-induced release of condensed cations and/or bound water. 4) The netropsin-saturated duplex monophasically melts 46 degrees C higher than the free duplex. The unsaturated duplex melts through two thermally-resolved transitions that correspond to netropsin-free and netropsin-bound regions. These two regions interact dynamically with no substantial influence on the thermal stabilities of the separate domains. 5) Netropsin binding decreases the cooperativity of the duplex to single strand transition. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
