title: [Netropsin, distamycin A, bis-netropsins as selective inhibitors of restrictases and DNAse I].
abstract: The simultaneous analysis of DNAase I "footprinting" data and restriction endonucleases inhibition data was performed on the same DNA end-labelled fragment. The inhibition induced by netropsin, a number of bis-netropsins and distamycin A was investigated. These experiments led us to the following conclusions. The restriction endonucleases inhibition by the ligands is caused by the ligand molecules binding in the close vicinity to the restriction endonuclease recognition sequence. The zone of +/- 4 bp from the center of the restriction endonuclease recognition sequence can be defined as the zone of the influence of the bounded ligand on the restriction endonuclease. But in this case the intersection of recognition sequence and the binding site occupied by a single ligand molecule is not sufficient for the inhibition to occur. Restriction endonuclease cutting sites protected by netropsin can be predicted basing upon known nucleotide sequence specificity of netropsin. Netropsin and bis-netropsins show different nucleotide sequence specificity. This fact can be used for selective inhibition of restriction endonucleases.
