| Abstract | We report equilibrium, relaxation kinetic, and transient electric dichroism studies on the complex of the diamino steroid irehdiamine A with DNA. The results are consistent with a beta-kinked structure for the complex at saturation, with a kink in the DNA structure induced by a bound steroid every second base pair. The results that favor this hypothesis include an apparent length decrease of rod-like bacterial DNA molecules when only a small amount of drug is bound, followed by an apparent length increase at saturation. The limiting dichroism amplitude implies a substantial increase in the tilt of the bases relative to the orientation axis; at saturation the base UV transition moments are tilted about 31 degrees from the plane perpendicular to the orientation axis. Because of the direction of polarization of the 260-nm transition moments, the results indicate that the tilt of the bases must be predominantly in the short rather than the long axis of the base pair. The large hyperchroism of the complex is consistent with loss of base stacking, as required by a kinked structure. The kinetic results imply a bimolecular reaction mechanism, with a temperature-dependent association rate constant of roughly 10(8) M(-1) sec(-1), and a dissociation rate constant of about 5 x 10(3) sec(-1), nearly independent of temperature. The association activation energy and apparent reaction enthalpy vary from 12 to 22 kcal mol(-1); heat is absorbed on complex formation as expected for loss of base-stacking interactions. An anomalous result of the experiments is the larger apparent length increase (13%) exhibited by two eukaryotic DNAs, compared to 6% for three prokaryotic DNAs. Differences were also observed in the kinetic properties of the complexes. |

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.
