Abstract

New conjugates containing two parallel or antiparallel carboxamide minor groove binders (MGB) attached to the same terminal phosphate of one oligonucleotide strand were synthesized. The conjugates interact with their target DNA stronger than the individual components. Effect of conjugated MGB on DNA duplex and triplex stability and their sequence specificity was demonstrated on the short oligonucleotide duplexes and on the triplex formed by model 16-mer oligonucleotide with HIV polypurine tract.
