Sequence-specific polyamides that bind in the minor groove of DNA are attractive candidates for antibiotics, cancer chemotherapeutics, and transcriptional antagonists. This paper reviews the progress of structure-based design of minor-groove-binding polyamides, from the first structure of netropsin

The expedient of preparing homologous DNA samples substituted with inosine for guanosine residues, 2,6-diaminopurine (DAP) for adenine residues, or both, has been used to investigate the role of the purine 2-amino group in determining the preferred binding sites for the drugs berenil [1,3-bis(4-phen
We describe an original approach to determining sequence-structure relationships for DNA. This approach, termed ADAPT, combines all-atom molecular mechanics with a multicopy algorithm to build nucleotides that contain all four standard bases in variable proportions. These nucleotides enable us to se
