  • Title: 1H-NMR determination of the thermodynamics of drug complexation with single-stranded and double-stranded oligonucleotides in solution: ethidium bromide complexation with the deoxytetranucleotides 5'-d(ApCpGpT), 5'-d(ApGpCpT), and 5'-d(TpGpCpA).

    Abstract:
    The thermodynamical parameters (free energy, enthalpy, and entropy) of complex formation between ethidium bromide and single-stranded and double-stranded tetranucleotides of different base sequence [5-d(TpGpCpA), 5-d(ApCpGpT), and 5-d(ApGpCpT) have been determined from the temperature dependencies of 500 MHz proton nmr chemical shifts. The analysis enables the contributions to be differentiated for the formation of different types of complexes (1:1, 2:1, 1.2 and 2:2) in aqueous solution. The results have been interpreted in terms of the main types of intermolecular interactions responsible for formation of the different complexes; van der Waals and electrostatic interactions are important for formation of complexes of ethidium bromide with single-stranded tetranucleotides, whereas van der Waals and hydrophobic interactions play a significant role in the binding of the dye to the tetramer duplexes.
