Although a significant part of the replication fork exists as single-stranded DNA, little is known about the effectof carcinogens and mutagens on single-strand conformation. Large-scale conformational searches with potential energy minimization, using the torsion anglespace molecular mechanics program DUPLEX, were employed to explore the conformationof all 16 deoxydinucleoside monophosphates bearing 2-aminofluorene (AF) or 2-(acetylamino) fluorene (AAF) modification on guanine. We have thus examined the effectof 3'versus 5'modification, the presence or absence of the acetyl group, and the effectof four different neighbors in each case. The principal effect of the acetyl groupappeared to be thedestabilization of anti (and, to a lesser degree, borderline anti) conformations for modified guanine. This mattered little in the S'-substituted dimers, where one conformational type predominated in the low-energy structures for the adducts of both AAF and AF: It was right-handed, with syn-guanine, imperfect base-base stacking, and fluorene to 3'-sugar contacts. Greater divergence was seen in the 3'-substituted series. The AAF-substituted 3'-adducts primarily displayed good base-fluorene stacking, with syn-guanine in contact with the 5'-sugar. The AF-substituted 3'-adducts displayed a variety of structures which included base-base and carcinogen-base stacked forms. Two novel forms were encountered [global minima for d (ApG-AF) and d (GpG-AF)], whose unusual structures suggest mutagenic capability. In orderto address the multiple minimumproblem, we conducted our searches of conformation space using two alternativeoptimization methods that also employ differing search strategies. We used the Powell algorithm, BOTM, with starting conformations that are selected combinations of rotamers, and the method of simulated annealing (SA), with random or arbitrary startingconformations. While both approaches were effective in defining the most important structures, SA was more successful than BOTM inlocating the structures of lowestenergy.
