Sequence-dependent drug binding to the minor groove of DNA: crystal structure of the DNA dodecamer d(CGCAAATTTGCG)2 complexed with propamidine by Nunn, Christine M., Neidle, Stephen

“…The structure shows binding of the propamidine molecule within the AT tract of the DNA minor groove with a shift from the center of the duplex toward the 3’ end of ca. 2 A. The long AT tract of six base pairs in length allows the propamidine many potential binding sites in the DNA groove, and its binding is seen to occur where there is least perturbation to the DNA from that seen in the native structure. …”
