Testo completoDNA gyrase is a vital bacterial enzyme necessary for the handling of the large DNA molecules in the living cell. Therefore DNA gyrase is an ideal target enzyme for anti-infectious compounds. In this work DNA gyrase has been studied by molecular modelling methods. A computational structure-based ligand design approach has been carried out on the N-terminal 24 kDa subdomain of DNA gyrase B (GHKL domain). To further examine the flexibility of two active site loops, molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out on the GHKL domain in different ligand binding conditions. In a final part, normal mode analysis has been carried out on the dimer of the 43 kDa domain of DNA gyrase B

Testo completoElucidation of non-covalent interactions of biological complexes takes on great importance for the understanding of cellular function. The purpose of this thesis is a further development of mass spectrometry (MS) for the study of these complexes, either by MALDI-MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization) or by ESI-MS (electrospray ionization). This work was focused on three main lines: i) study of the stoichiometry and the topology of SAGA HAT (Spt-Ada-Gcn5 Acetyltransferase, Histone Acetyl Transferase module) complex by chemical cross-linking coupled to MS; ii) monitoring the dimerization of the complexes formed by RAR-RXR (retinoic acid receptor - retinoid X receptor) with different DNAs; iii) measuring the dissociation constant of RXR-ligand complexes. The developed methodologies made it possible to expand the potential of MS and get insight into structure of biological complexes

Testo completoUnderstanding biological process and proteins involved in has challenged biologists’ mind for a while. Specific DNA sequences, such as G-quadruplex and Adenine-Thymine rich sequences, have been studied for many years, especially for their involvement in genetic diseases like cancer. Scientists have also been interested in fluorescence monitoring and imaging of these specific sequences for a long time. Indeed, the huge sensitivity of these fluorescent technics and the wide scope of synthetic dyes available allowed several improvements on targeting DNA sequences responsible for genetic disorders. Nonetheless, relation between proteins and these areas remains mostly unknown. In order to answer this question, a pro-fluorescent dye built of two main parts, which are a DNA ligand (designed by Curie Institute teams, UMR 176) and a protein trap (based on epicocconone core). These parts were synthesized, coupled thanks to a Spontaneous Azoture Alkyne Cycloaddition (SPAAC) and the biological properties of the probe were evaluated. Furthermore, new ligands were synthesized using a new and innovating method of “on water” C-H activation reaction

Testo completoIn the context of chemotherapy, DNA repair reduces the DNA damage induced by DNA-alkylating drugs such as temozolomide, leading to chemoresistance. One of the most important pathways of DNA repair is Base Excision Repair (BER), where a key enzyme, APE1 (AP endonuclease 1), cleaves abasic sites generated following treatment with DNA-alkylating drugs and initiates the repair of the single-strand break. The DNA repair activity of APE1 was identified as the major source of chemoresistance in certain cancers. Several studies validated the BER pathway and, particularly, the APE1 enzyme as important drug targets for improvement the efficacy of anti-cancer drugs; for this reason, several APE1 inhibitors have been developed. However, instead of direct inhibition of the enzyme, an alternative strategy can rely on targeting its substrate: the AP sites in DNA. Macrocyclic compounds, namely naphthalenophanes, show a strong and selective binding to abasic sites in the DNA. This process interferes with the recognition of the latter by APE1 and leads in vitro to two effects: inhibition of the APE1-induced DNA cleavage and macrocycle-induced DNA cleavage by a mechanism different from that of APE1, namely β-elimination. Herein, a novel serie of functionalized naphthalenophanes, composed of nine novel derivatives, has been synthesized and studied. Most ligands demonstrate a strong and selective binding to AP-sites in DNA and an inhibition of APE1 activity in vitro, with inhibitory constants from 39 nM to 25 µM. Moreover, the inhibitory activity of ligands, as characterized by Kı values, could be directly related to their affinity and selectivity to AP-sites. The molecular design of macrocycles has a crucial influence on their intrinsic AP-site cleavage activity leading either to total abolition, or to an exceptionally high AP-site cleavage activity. Interestingly, an unprecedented formation of a covalent DNA-ligand adduct with one of the ligands have been characterized. Finally, the biological activity of naphthalenophanes was assessed in the TMZ-resistant glioblastoma cell line T98G. Most compounds are highly active, with GI₅₀ values in sub-micromolar or low-micromolar range. In addition, a remarkable synergic effect upon co-treatment of TMZ or MMS with one ligand (2,7-BisNP-O4Me) was demonstrated. This ligand was found to increase the number of AP-sites and the number of double-strands break in DNA upon co-treatment with TMZ and MMS suggesting APE1 inhibition as excepted. These observations highlight the hight therapeutic interest of this compound

Testo completoSignificant advances were made in the field of in vivo fluorescence imaging thanks to the recent development of biphotonic microscopy and super-resolution techniques, rendering intravital imaging and biological tissues analysis possible. Those techniques however require the use of new probes with optimized optical and biological properties.Several series of cationic dyes for DNA staining were developed based on the vinyl-triphenylamine (TP) scaffold. Those new switchable yellow or red fluorophores bind in the minor-groove of DNA and display high two-photon absorption cross-sections. Two anionic derivatives were also designed for staining HSA.In fixed or apoptotic cells, the cationic dyes stain nuclear DNA with a high brightness and contrast. They are non-cytotoxic, photostable and cell permeant. The molecule with the most optimized properties, TP-2Bzim, has one of the highest two-photon brightness to date (383 GM in DNA), allowing sensible detection in biphotonic microscopy at low concentration and excitation power. In live cells, the dyes are localized in the mitochondria, but it appears that upon constant mono- or bi-photonic excitation they trigger cell apoptosis within a few minutes and are released in the nucleus. Since the phenomenon can be imaged by fluorescence microscopy, the TP dyes could thus be used as photosensitizers for theranostics.A synthetic pathway was also developed to functionalize the TP-2Bzim. It was then coupled by “click-chemistry” to short oligonucleotides or PNA sequences for fluorescence in situ hybridization, and to folic acid and spermidine for cancer cells targeting

Testo completoAquesta tesi es centra en l'estudi de les interaccions moleculars amb detall atomic i es divideix en un capítol d'introducció i quatre capítols que fan referència a diferents problemes i enfocaments metodològics. Tots ells se centren en el desenvolupament i millora dels algoritmes computacionals de Monte Carlo per estudiar, de manera eficient, el comportament d'aquests sistemes a un nivell mecànica molecular clàssica. Els quatre problemes biofísics estudiats en aquesta tesi són: acoblament induït entre la proteïna-lligand i entre DNA-lligant per comprendre el mecanisme d'unió, resposta de les proteïnes a l'estirament, i la generació/puntuació d'acoblament entre poses proteïna-proteïna. La tesi s'organitza de la següent manera: El primer capítol correspon a l'estat de l'art en mètodes computacionals per estudiar les interaccions biofísiques, que és el punt de partida d'aquesta tesi. El nostre PELE algoritme i els principals mètodes estàndard com ara la dinàmica molecular s'explicaran en detall. El capítol dos es centra en les principals modificacions PELE per afegir noves característiques, com ara l'addició d'un nou camp de força, solvent implícit i modes normals per aquests estudis de simulació d'ADN. Es fa un estudi, comparació i validació de les conformacions generades per sis fragments d'ADN representatius amb PELE utilitzant dinàmica molecular com a referència. El tercer capítol està dedicat a l'aplicació dels nous mètodes implementats i provats en PELE per estudiar les interaccions proteïna-lligand i la interacció lligand-DNA utilitzant quatre sistemes. En primer lloc, se estudia la unió a proteïnes GUN4 combinant PELE i simulacions de dinàmica molecular. A més, es proposa un acoblament que ha sigut corroborat per una nova estructura cristal·lina publicada durant el procés de revisió de l'estudi mostrant l'exactitud de les nostres prediccions. En el segon projecte, hem utilitzat la nostra versió millorada de PELE per generar el primer model estructural d'una glucosa alfa substrat 1,6-bisfosfat unit a la fosfomanomutasa humana 2, que demostra que aquest lligant pot adoptar dues orientacions de baiza energia. El tercer projecte és l'estudi de les interaccions d'ADN lligant per tres medicaments cisplatí on se avalua l'energia lliure d'unió utilitzant Markov States Models. Es mostren excel·lents resultats respecte d'altres mètodes d'energia lliure estudiats amb dinàmica molecular. L'últim projecte és l'estudi de l'intercalador d'ADN anomenat daunomicina on es simula i estudia el procés d'unió amb PELE. El capítol 4 es centra en l'estudi computacional dels perfils d'extensió de la força durant el desplegament de la proteïna. Hem afegit una restricció harmònica dinàmica seguint un procediment similar al aplicat en dinàmica molecular en el nostre algoritme Monte Carlo per fixar o moure alguns àtoms seleccionats obligant a desplegar la proteïna en una direcció definida. Aquesta tècnica s'ha implementat i comparat amb dinàmica molecular per les proteïnes ubiquitina i azurin. D'altra banda, hem afegit aquesta modificació a un algoritme ben conegut anomenat MCPRO del grup de William Jorgensen a la Universitat de Yale per avaluar l'energia lliure associada al desplegament del sistema deca alanina. El capítol cinc correspon a la introducció d'un enfocament multiescala per estudiar l'acoblament proteïna-proteïna. Un model de gra gruixut es combinat amb una exploració Monte Carlo per reduir els graus de llibertat i generar milers de poses proteïna-proteïna d'una manera ràpida. Les poses produides per aquest procediment es perfeccionan i evaluan a través d'una protonació, optimització d'enllaços d'hidrogen, i minimització a escala atòmica per identificar les millors poses. Es presenten dos casos de prova on s'ha aplicat aquest procediment que mostra una bona precisió en les prediccions: tryptogalinin i ferredoxina / flavodoxina systems.

Testo completoA proof-of-concept for a novel microarray used to study protein-ligand interaction in real-time using label-free detection is presented. Many of todays commercially available instruments lack the ability to immobilize membrane proteins. At the same time, the pharmaceutical industry develops drugs directed towards membrane-bound receptors. The need to study drug-target kinetics and to be able to screen for new medical substances is high. To study the biomolecular interactions in real-time, imaging surface plasmon resonance (iSPR) is used. A patterned sensor surface with hydrophobic barriers assisting in the piezodispensing of NeutrAvidin with complex-bound biotin-ssDNA is created. Histidine-tagged proteins are immobilized at the vesicle surface using divalent nitrilotriacetic acid. The concept of the vesicle immobilization, the protein-binding to vesicles and the protein-ligand interaction is initially studied using a Biacore instrument. The dissociation of the ligand IFNα2 from its receptor ifnar-2 (wt) are in accordance with the literature. In the imaging SPR experiments, it is found that the dissociation of IFNα2 from the ifnar-2 (wt) receptor is slower than expected, probably due to rebinding of the ligand. It is also found that imidazole is needed to avoid vesicle-vesicle interaction. The immobilization of proteins had to be done on-line i.e. when the vesicles were bound to the surface. Depending on the mixture of receptors at the vesicle surface the affinity for the ligand was changed. The results achieved were reproducible.
Reznichenko, Oksana. "Combinatorial chemistry approaches for the development of G-quadruplex DNA and RNA ligands". Thesis, université Paris-Saclay, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021UPASF014.
Testo completoG-quadruplexes (G4s) are four-stranded structures of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) that consist of at least two coplanar guanine quartets. An important feature of G4s is their ability to form stable complexes with exogenous small molecules (ligands) and thus influence biological processes in which they are involved. G4 targeting is often associated with oncology, where G4 ligands may suppress the expression of oncogenes, inhibit telomerase, or induce DNA damage in cancer cells. This work aims to develop methodologies for rapid and simple synthesis and screening of compounds, in order to identify selective and highly affine ligands of given non-canonical structures of nucleic acids, in particular G4s. Specifically, this works exploits the chemistry of reversible synthesis of acylhydrazones, which has been barely applied for the development of DNA or RNA ligands before. First, a small library of 20 cationic bis(acylhydrazones), analogues of the previously reported G4-ligands PDC (360A) and PhenDC3, was obtained by preparative synthesis. Through fluorescence melting experiments it is demonstrated that some of compounds indeed have high affinity to G4-DNA, validating the suitability of the acylhydrazone motif as a scaffold for the development of G4 ligands. Next, a method of dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC), which consists in simultaneous one-pot generation of libraries of up to 20 compounds with consecutive pull-down of most affine ligands by bead-immobilized targets (i.e., G4-DNA), was developed. By using this method, a non-symmetrical bis(acylhydrazone) was identified as a promising ligand of a parallel G4-DNA Pu24T. However, biophysical experiments with its close structural analogues did not confirm their preferential binding in comparison with the symmetrically substituted compound. It is proposed that the outcome of DCC experiments may be biased by non-specific interactions of ligands with magnetic beads, leading to false-positive results. In order to improve the analysis of dynamic combinatorial libraries, a novel method based on solid-phase extraction of the G4-ligand complex was developed and applied to two libraries of non-symmetric acylhydrazones. In a few rounds of selection, 13 hits were obtained out of 70 in situ generated compounds. Three of them were selected for preparative synthesis and detailed study of interaction with G4-DNA. In parallel, a classical combinatorial chemistry approach was developed, resulting in generation of a combinatorial library of 90 individual bis(acylhydrazone) derivatives in the form of ready-to-use 2 mM solutions in DMSO, with an average purity of 87%. These samples were directly used for biophysical screening experiments towards four G4-DNA targets of three different topologies. Three most active compounds were obtained in preparative manner and their interaction with the mentioned biological targets was studied in detail by several biophysical methods, including native mass spectrometry experiments. This way, at least one derivative with a G4-DNA affinity superior to that of PhenDC3 and unprecedented selectivity towards anti-parallel G4-DNA could be identified. Finally, in the framework of a collaborative project (M. Blondel, University of Western Brittany) the ligands synthesized in this work were studied with respect to their capacity to act as modulators of the immune evasion of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV). Specifically, it was shown that several bis(acylhydrazones) bind in vitro to G4-RNA structures formed by the guanine-rich repeat sequence of mRNA encoding for the glycine-alanine rich (GAr) domain of viral genome maintenance protein EBNA1. Moreover, two derivatives were found to displace the host cell factor nucleolin from EBNA1 mRNA, leading to overexpression of EBNA1 protein and a concomitant increase of antigen presentation in EBV-infected cell cultures. This effect represents an interesting therapeutic opportunity for treatment of EBV-related cancers

Testo completoType II DNA topoisomerases (Topo2A) remodel DNA topology during replication, transcription and chromosome segregation. Most TopoIIA are able to perform ATP-‐dependent DNA relaxation or decatenation but the bacterial DNA gyraseis the sole type II DNA topoisomerase able to introduce negative supercoils. Several biochemical and structural studies haverevealed a highly sophisticated supercoiling catalytic mechanism but despite a wealth of information, the full architectureof Topo2A and the structural basis for DNA supercoiling remain elusive. Due to their physiological roles, topoisomerasesare also important targets for antibiotics targeting the bacterial enzyme but also anti-‐cancer molecules inhibiting the humanprotein. This presented work has combinedboth structural and functional approach to answer the fundamental mechanisticquestions still unveiled and to discover new inhibitors against the emergence of resistant bacterial population
Piccolo, Stefano. "Biophysical characterization of aptamer-ligand interactions by native mass spectrometry". Thesis, Bordeaux, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019BORD0276.
Testo completoAptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids capable to bind selectively to a ligand or to a family of molecules. Aptamers are the sensing part of riboswitches, which are regulatory segments of messenger RNA involved in gene expression. Aptamers are also promising artificial probes, sensors and stimuli-responsive elements. In the development of aptamer-based technology, it is crucial to understand how binding is occurring, to quantify affinities, and ligand-induced conformational changes. The objective of this thesis is to explore the applicability of native IM-MS to DNA and RNA aptamers to quantify binding and to detect conformational change upon binding.In the first part, we evaluated the quantitative determination of equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) by mass spectrometry (MS), and the necessity of including a correction for relative response factors of free and bound aptamers. We compared isothermal titration calorimetry and MS titrations to validate the quantifications. Two RNA aptamers were taken as models: the malachite green aptamer, extensively studied by ITC, and the riboflavin mononucleotide aptamer, a case of Mg2+-dependent ligand binding. We observed that typical volatile electrolytes ammonium acetate and trimethyl ammonium acetate are suitable to study RNA aptamer binding, and that comparable KD values are obtained from ITC and native MS. The neomycin and tobramycin RNA aptamers were chosen to test the limit of detection of native MS. We found that native MS is appropriate to determine KD values in the range from 50 nM to 30 µM. The relative response factor correction was relatively modest in all cases, suggesting that the ligand binding is not associated to a significant conformational difference upon ionization. For these aptamers, we conclude that assuming equal response factors is acceptable.In the second part, we evaluated whether the aptamers’ “adaptive binding” mechanism can be revealed by ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). To this aim, in addition to the systems listed above we studied the tetracycline RNA aptamer and a series of cocaine-binding DNA aptamers, for which the conformational change upon binding is reported in literature. For all aptamers except the tetracycline aptamer, we did not observe a significant difference in the shape of the gas-phase structure upon ligand or Mg2+ binding. However, a significant change was observed in tetracycline RNA aptamer’s ion mobilities, at biologically relevant concentration of Mg2+ (100 µM), and we found that Mg2+ is essential for ligand binding, in agreement with previous solution studies. For the cocaine-binding DNA aptamer series, although we observed similar compactness for the free and bound aptamers in soft pre-IMS conditions, a conformational extension occurs at high pre-IMS activation, best revealed by charge state 7-, suggesting gas-phase rearrangements. To better investigate whether the energetics of these rearrangements depend on pre-folding or on ligand binding, we modified the sequences with dA overhangs, to compare systems with similar numbers of degrees of freedom without altering the core structure. We also propose new ways of presenting the data, adapted to the cases where ligand dissociation, declustering and unfolding occur at similar voltages. The gradual increase of the pre-IMS collisional activation revealed that the unfolding energetics is correlated with the base pairs content, suggesting that base pairs are conserved in the gas-phase structures. We also found that ligand is lost at lower energies than unfolding.In summary, gas-phase compaction occur for both the free aptamers and bound aptamers, and memories of the solution-phase structures can only be revealed in some particular cases. However, the compaction towards similar shapes might constitute an advantage for the quantification, because molecular systems of similar shapes have similar electrospray responses. Consequently, native MS provides reliable estimations of KD values

Testo completoGuanine quadruplexes (G4) are non-canonical four-stranded nucleic acid structures formed by guanine-rich DNA and RNA sequences. Theses polymorphic structures are built from the stacking of several G-quartets and could be involved in many fields, in biotechnology as well as in nanotechnology. The study of modified tetramolecular G4 presented in this manuscript participated to the understanding of tetramolecular G4 formation. Especially, we showed that the insertion of 8-methyl-2’-deoxyguanosine at the 5’-end of the sequence accelerate G4 formation and increase its stability. Besides, we demonstrate here that short guanine rich L-DNA strands (mirror image of natural DNA) form a tetramolecular G4 with the same properties than their enantiomer, but with opposite chirality. The study revealed also self-exclusion between two enantiomers (D- and L- form), showing the controlled parallel self-assembly of different G-rich strands. This work introduced also a simple and stable system to observe tetramolecular antiparallel G4 formation, called “synaptic DNA”, into a DNA origami nanostructure. In vivo, such structures appear to be implicated in genome dynamics, and especially at telomeres. During this thesis, we dedicated a study to the comparison of G4 folding and stability of known telomeric sequences from different organisms. The present study allowed enriching the dataset necessary to build and refine algorithms predicting G4 stability. Last but not least, we developed a G4 ligand screening method onto 96-well plates allowing the comparison of different biological relevant sequences. The G4 stabilisation by specific ligands in some genome regions may prevent cancer cell proliferation, making it an attractive target for anticancer therapy

Testo completoSingle-Stranded nucleic acids containing guanine repeats can form non-Canonical secondary structures called G-Quadruplexes. These structures are composed of several guanine quartets, maintained by hydrogen bonds and metal cations (K+ or Na+) coordinated between G-Quartets. In spite of being well-Studied in vitro, the evidence for the presence of quadruplex DNA structures in vivo remains mainly indirect. The objective of this work was research of fluorescent probes that can signal the presence of quadruplex DNA and detect its structure (topology).Two series of fluorescent probes were considered and prepared: styryls dyes (mostly distyryls) and PDC-Coumarin derivatives. The design of these two series is based on the molecular scaffold of bisquinolinium pyridodicarboxamide (PDC-360A), a selective ligand with good affinity for quadruplex DNA structures but which is not fluorescent. Inspired by this molecule and the styryl motif, which is known for its spectroscopic properties, we considered a library of distyryles dyes. A second series, the PDC-Coumarin derivatives, was developed to introduce the fluorescence property of coumarin in the PDC by a covalent link. The properties of dyes of these two libraries (65 compounds) were studied in the presence of a number of DNA structures (quadruplex and duplex) by a fluorescent screening using microplate and titration methods. Our results show that some of synthesized dyes display high fluorescence response (i.e. fluorescence increase factor from 200 to 600) for different quadruplex DNA and RNA structures, while having a very low fluorimetric response for duplex DNA. This allows a selective visualization of quadruplex DNA in solution or in electrophoresis gel. These results represent the first steps towards the use of these probes in a biological context, for example in fluorescence imaging

Testo completoThe development of new DNA binders and the evaluation of their affinity toward DNA as well as their mode of binding is an area of research of prime importance. In this thesis we studied the interactions of Hoechst 33258, a well-known groove binder, as well as some of its newly synthesized derivatives with DNA. The stability of DNA-Hoechst 33258 complex in solution with and without DMSO as a co-solvent was evaluated.Secondly, the affinities of newly designed and synthesized derivatives of Hoechst 33258 toward DNA were evaluated. Finally, a set of pyrene derivatives able to induced excimer formation upon binding to DNA were studied. Different spectroscopic methods, such as UV-vis absorbance, fluorescence, circular dichroism, ESI mass spectroscopy and molecular docking were applied for the complete evaluation of the affinity of these ligands toward DNA

Testo completoThe androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-activated transcriptional factor and a member of the nuclear receptor super family. AR shares a common structural and functional architecture with other members of nuclear receptors. The DNA binding domain of AR (ARDBD) binds to specific response elements as a homodimer. In the clinic, certain mutations in AR are associated with the progression of prostate cancer and have consequences for the treatment of patients with advanced prostate cancer. Previous studies showed that the mutation T575A, locating in the DNA binding domain, enhances the transcriptional activity regulated by full-length AR on promoters containing the non-specific response element compared to the wild type domain does not. These differences prompted us to study the molecular mechanism of ARDBD wild type and the T575A mutant. Structures of ARDBD wild type and T575A mutant revealed high similarity. However, dynamic behavior showed distinct differences between wild type and T575A mutant domains. The protonation state of H570 in ARDBD was found to be differed by the mutation. This loss of charge of H570 results in changes in transcriptional activity of AR. .

The first part of this thesis reports the study of the energetic basis of complex DNA–peptide interactions relating to allosteric interactions. In common with other designed peptides, ten new conjugates incorporating the XPRK or XHypRK motif (Hyp = hydroxyproline) attached to a N-methylpyrrole (Py) tract with a basic tail have been found to display cooperative binding to DNA involving multiple monodentate as well as interstrand bidentate interactions. Quantitative DNase I footprinting show that allosteric communication via cooperative binding to multiple sites on complementary DNA strands corresponds to two different types of DNA–peptide interaction network. Temperature variation experiments using a dodecapeptide RY-12 show that lower temperature (25 °C) favors a circuit type of allosteric interaction network, whereas higher temperatures (31 and 37 °C) afford only a partial-circuit type of network. Circular dichroism studies show that the peptides induce significant local conformational changes in DNA via the minor groove, with apparently dimeric binding stoichiometry. Isothermal titration calorimetry reveals that the peptides are strongly exothermic upon binding to a model 13-mer DNA duplex, as characterized by ΔH ranging from −14.7 to −74.4 kcal mol−1, and also high TΔS ranging from −6.5 to −65.9 kcal mol−1. Distinctive enthalpy–entropy compensation (EEC) relationships are demonstrated for the interaction of all twelve designed peptides with DNA, affording a straight line of slope close to unity when ΔH is plotted versus TΔS, with a y-axis intercept (average ΔG) corresponding to −8.5 kcal mol−1, while the observed ΔG ranges from −8.2 to −9.1 kcal mol−1 for the peptides. The EEC seen with peptide RY-12 binding to the model duplex persists throughout various incubation temperatures. The net compensation of energy between the favorable negative ΔH and unfavorable negative ΔS components thus constrains the value of net binding free energy ΔG within a remarkably constant range, as is clearly visible in a 3-dimensional energetic plot. For the second part of this thesis, both polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF experiments showed that chlorambucil-peptides conjugates CLB-HyM-10 and CLB-HyQ-10 can readily cleave DNA duplexes very effectively and sequence-selectively in the absence of heat, chemical additives and UV irradiation. Circular dichroism studies show that the conjugates CLB–HyM-10 and CLB–HyQ-10 induce significant local conformational changes in DNA via the minor groove, possibly with dimeric binding stoichiometry. The energetic basis of DNA binding by these conjugates has been investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry, revealing that the binding of both the peptides and their CLB conjugates is overwhelmingly enthalpy-driven. The maintenance of a conserved negative binding free energy in DNA–conjugate interactions is a crucial feature of the universal enthalpy–entropy compensation phenomenon. It is concluded that the strongly enthalpy-driven binding of CLB–peptide conjugates to preferred loci in DNA furnishes the required proximity effect to generate the observed nuclease-like sequence-selective cleavage.
