Abstract

BI-3802 is a relatively new anticancer drug known to bind to the transcription repressor BCL6 and potently kill the most common form of cancer cells, B-cell lymphoma, found in the lymphatic system. Based on its structure we believe this small molecule drug can bind to DNA through intercalation. We use Optical tweezers to trap a single DNA molecule to explore the binding of this BI-3802 with DNA. Once we trap a single DNA molecule, we stretch the DNA and measure the tension in the DNA as a function of extension.
