Abstract:
Described is a computer-assisted rational design of a DNA-bis-intercalator peptide library. The peptide library of 250 members was prepared and the most powerful binder identified. A value of the binding constant is almost two orders of magnitude higher than that of starting building block-9-aminoacridine. The binder affinity found toward calf thymus DNA is 30-fold of that of human prion peptide 106-126.
