Netropsin is an unusual n-methylpyrrole-containing oligopeptide that binds to AT-rich sequences of dsDNA, especially in the minor groove. Thus, it protects such regions from DNase I and other endonucleases, and also inhibits topoisomerases. Netropsin disrupts the cell cycle, prolonging G and arresting in G.

Structural results with minor groove binding agents, such as netropsin, have provided detailed, atomic level views of DNA molecular recognition. Solution studies, however, indicate that there is complexity in the binding of minor groove agents to a single site. Netropsin

Distamycin A, netropsin and berenil are known to cause undercondensation of heterochromatic regions of metaphase chromosomes. These ligands interfere with DNA curvature by binding to the minor groove of the DNA. Whereas the effects of these ligands upon chromatin structure

A variety of solution methods exist for analysis of interactions between small molecule ligands and nucleic acids; however, accomplishing this task economically at the scale of hundreds to thousands of sequences remains challenging. Surface assays offer a prospective solution through

This study examined the ability of netropsin and related minor groove binders to interfere with the actions of DNA topoisomerases II and I. We evaluated a series of netropsin dimers linked with flexible aliphatic chains of different lengths. These agents
DNA topoisomerases are enzymes governing the multitude of conformational changes DNA undergoes during the cell cycle. Several compounds are likely to interfere with specific steps of the catalytic cycle of these enzymes. Camptothecin arrests the activity of DNA topoisomerase I
