The intercalation of DNA and drug compounds has been studied thoroughly, in this case the nucleotide d(CGTACG) was complexed with an anthraquinone derivative. This derivative, 1,5-bis[3-(diethylamino)propionamido]anthracene-9,10-dione, provided researchers with the information needed to solve <scene name='48/483883/Rainbow_sheet/1'>the structure of the complex</scene> using X-Ray crystallography. Along with the structure, the important forces involved in binding were analyzed and described as heavily reliant on cations. Furthermore, the binding site seems to be specific to anthracene and similar molecules. Therefore, the potential for drug compounds to be carrying by this nucleotide complex requires further research. | |||
