title: Raman and surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy of bis-netropsins and their DNA complexes.
abstract: The interactions of three bis-netropsins (bis-Nts), which are potent catalytic inhibitors of DNA-binding enzymes, with three double-stranded oligonucleotides (OLIGs), which contain sites of different specific affinities for each bis-Nt, were analyzed. Raman spectroscopy was performed for selective monitoring of modifications of the bis-Nt or the OLIG structure upon bis-Nt-DNA binding, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS) was an additional tool for topology studies of ligand-DNA complexes. The spectral data showed conformational changes of both partners (bis-Nt and OLIG) upon complexation. Structural variations of bis-Nts appeared to be dependent on a bis-Nt-OLIG binding constant and were found to be small in the specific DNA binding and highest for nonspecific binding of bis-Nt with the corresponding OLIG. The conformational changes of the OLIGs were varied with a bis-Nt-OLIG binding constant in the same manner. The bis-Nts seemed to induce a perturbation in the OLIG's structure, as well as in the positions of their direct binding. These DNA structural modification effects may explain the inhibition of DNA-binding enzymes in the variety of very distinct DNA-enzyme binding sites by bis-Nts reported previously.
