title: [Stabilization of G x C-containing DNA duplexes by polyamides with parallel orientation in the minor groove].
abstract: The polyamides based on 4-amino-1-methylpyrrol-2-carboxylic acid, 4-amino-1-methylimidazole-2-carboxylic acid, and beta-alanine that stabilize oligonucleotide duplexes consisting of G x C pairs through parallel packing in the minor groove were studied. The initial duplex TTGCGCp x GCGCAA melts at 28 degrees C; the TTGCGCp[NH(CH2)3COPyIm betaImNH(CH2)3NH(CH3)2][NH(CH2)3COIm betaImPyNH(CH2)3N(CH3)2] x GCGCAA duplex (bisphosphoramidate with parallel orientation of ligands, where Py, Im, and beta are the residues of 1-methyl-4-aminopyrrol-2-carboxylic and 1-methyl-4-aminoimidazole-2-carboxylic acids and beta-alanine, respectively), at 48 degrees C; and the TTGCGCp[NH(CH2)3COIm betaImPyNH(CH2)3COIm betaImPyNH(CH2)3N(CH3)2] x GCGCAA duplex (a hairpin structure with antiparallel orientation), at 56 degrees C.
