    Notes: The thermodynamical parameters (free energy, enthalpy, and entropy) of complex formation between ethidium bromide and single-stranded and double-stranded tetranucleotides of different base sequence [5′-d(TpGpCpA), 5′-d(ApCpGpT), and 5′-d(ApGpCpT) have been determined from the temperature dependencies of 500 MHz proton nmr chemical shifts. The analysis enables the contributions to be differentiated for the formation of different types of complexes (1:1, 2:1, 1:2, and 2:2) in aqueous solution. The results have been interpreted in terms of the main types of intermolecular interactions responsible for formation of the different complexes; van der Waals and electrostatic interactions are important for formation of complexes of ethidium bromide with single-stranded tetranucleotides, whereas van der Waals and hydrophobic interactions play a significant role in the binding of the dye to the tetramer duplexes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Complexation of the trypanocidal drug, ethidium bromide (EB), and the self-complementary deoxytetraribonucleoside triphosphates, 5′-d(ApCpGpT), 5′-d(ApGpCpT), and 5′-d(TpGpCpA), in aqueous salt solution has been investigated using one-dimensional and two-dimensional 500/600 MHz 1H-nmr spectroscopy. Six hundred megahertz two-dimensional homonuclear 1H-nmr spectroscopy (nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy) was used for a qualitative determination of the structures of EB binding with the deoxytetranucleotides. Concentration dependencies of proton chemical shifts of the molecules have been measured at constant temperatures (T = 303 or 308 K). Different successive schemes of complex formation between the dye molecule and the tetranucleotides have been examined by taking into account various molecular associations in solution, viz., 1:1, 1:2, 2:1 and 2:2 complexes. Equilibrium reaction constants and the limiting proton chemical shifts in the complexes have been determined. The relative contributions of different types of complexes in the equilibrium mixture have been determined and special features of the dynamic equilibrium have been revealed by analysis of chemical shifts as a function of both the dye and tetranucleotide concentrations. The present analysis leads to the conclusion that EB binds preferentially to the pyrimidine-purine sites of the tetranucleotide duplexes. The results show that the energy of EB binding depends on the base content in the pyrimidine-purine sites of the tetramers and on the nucleotide residuals flanking the preferential site. The most favorable structures of the 1:2 and 2:2 complexes of the dye with the tetranucleotides have been constructed using calculated values of induced chemical shifts of EB protons in conjunction with intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effects. The structures of the EB:tetranucleotide complexes depend on tetramer base sequence and are characterized by differences in helix parameters. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
