Title: Sequence-specific DNA binding Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides and their applications. Author: Kawamoto Y, Bando T, Sugiyama H. Journal: Bioorg Med Chem; 2018 May 01; 26(8):1393-1411. PubMed ID: 29439914. Abstract: Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides (Py-Im polyamides) are cell-permeable compounds that bind to the minor groove of double-stranded DNA in a sequence-specific manner without causing denaturation of the DNA. These compounds can be used to control gene expression and to stain specific sequences in cells. Here, we review the history, structural variations, and functional investigations of Py-Im polyamides.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
