Anthracycline-DNA interactions at unfavourable base-pair triplet-binding sites: structures of d(CGGCCG)/daunomycin and d(TGGCCA)/adriamycin complexes.

The structures of two hexanucleotide-anthracycline complexes d(CGGCCG)/daunomycin and d(TGGCCA)/adriamycin have been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. In both cases the anthracycline molecule is bound to non-preferred d(YGG) base-pair triplet sites. For both complexes the...
