[Interaction of actinocin derivative with different poly(rC) structures].
The interaction of actinocin derivative Act III with single- and double-stranded poly(rC) has been investigated by the methods of differential scanning microcalorimetry and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. It was shown that, after the addition of the ligand, the temperature, enthalpy and entropy of poly (rC) melting decrease. The analysis of poly(rC)-ActIII absorption spectra indicated that the conformation of polynucleotide differs from that of free poly (rC) in the presence of ActHI at pH 4.46 and pH 6.0. Using the DALSMOD optimization program, the parameters of interaction of Act III with poly (rC) were calculated. It was found that the binding constant of ActHI with double-stranded poly (rC) is essentially higher than that with the single-stranded one upon monomeric binding. On the basis of these data, we conclude that the conformation changes of the matrix are the main cause of the decrease in melting temperature and enthalpy observed by calorimetry. Possible mechanisms of interaction of actinocin derivative with poly (rC) are discussed.
