Title: Visualization of drug-nucleic acid interactions at atomic resolution. IX. Structures of two N,N-dimethylproflavine: 5-iodocytidylyl (3'-5') guanosine crystalline complexes

Journal Article · · J. Biomol. Struct. Dyn.; (United States)

This paper describes two complexes containing N,N-dimethylproflavine and the dinucleoside monophosphate, 5-iodocytidylyl(3'-5')guanosine (iodoCpG). The first complex is triclinic, space group P1, with unit cell dimensions a = 11.78 A, b = 14.55 A, c = 15.50 A, ..cap alpha.. = 89.2/sup 0/, ..beta.. 86.2/sup 0/, ..gamma.. = 96.4/sup 0/. The second complex is monoclinic, space group P2/sub 1/, with a = 14.20 A, b = 19.00 A, c = 20.73 A, ..beta.. = 103.6/sup 0/. Both structures have been solved to atomic resolution and refined by Fourier and least squares methods. The first structure has been refined anisotropically to a residual of 0.09 on 5025 observed reflections using block diagonal least squares, while the second structure has been refined isotropically to a residual of 0.13 on 2888 reflections with full matrix least squares. The asymmetric unit in both structures contains two dimethylproflavine molecules and two iodoCpG molecules; the first structure has 16 water molecules (a total of 134 non-hydrogen atoms), while the second structure has 18 water molecules (a total of 136 non-hydrogen atoms). Both structures demonstrate intercalation of dimethylproflavine between base-paired iodoCpG dimers. In addition, dimethylproflavine molecules stack on either side of the intercalated duplex, being related by a unit cell translation along b and a axes, respectively. 16 references, 13 figures, 5 tables.
