项目摘要

Nucleic acid molecules don't exist as a rigid and uniform structure. DNA molecules with a certain base sequence has a special structure which may act genetic signal. We determined some interesting structures by X-ray determination. NMR measurement and molecular dynamic simulation. 1. DNA molecule with adenine tract which causes a bending structure, d(CGCAAAAAAGCG):d(CGCTTTTTTGCG) was crystallized and its crystal structure was determined. No bending conformation was observed in crystalline state. 2. 500Mz proton NMR measurement of the above DNA molecule was carried at room temperature. Nuclear Overhauser effects were analysed and the molecular dynamic simulations with proton-proton distance restraint were calculations. The obtained molecular structure has two strictly bending sites. Both bending sites exist between adenine tract region and non-adenine tract region. No bending was observed in adenine tract region. These results support the junkction model for bending mechanism of adenine tract. 3. An antitumor agent, cis platinum (cis-Pt) adopts at N7 positions of two adjacenting guanine bases. By 500Mz proton NMR measurement of cis-Pt complex with d(CGAACGGCGCG):d(CGCGCCTTGCG), drug attachment to DNA double helices destabilizes but causes no breakdown of hydrogen bond formation in base pairing. by the model study, the kink conformation at drug attached site with open form at minor groove is proposed. 4. The suitable conformations of DNA molecule with I-A base pairing, were seeked by molecular mechanics and dynamic simulation calculations. Two possible conformations which have a similar conformational energy, can be changable. These are consist with NMR studies of d(CGCIAATTAGCG).

核酸分子并不是以刚性和均匀的结构存在的。具有一定碱基序列的DNA分子具有特殊的结构，可以作为遗传信号。我们通过X射线测定确定了一些有趣的结构。核磁共振测量和分子动力学模拟。1.使具有腺嘌呤束的DNA分子d（CGCAAAAAAGCG）：d（CGCTTTTTTGCG）结晶并测定其晶体结构。在结晶状态下没有观察到弯曲构象。2.在室温下进行上述DNA分子的500 Mz质子NMR测量。分析了核的Overhauser效应，并进行了质子-质子距离约束的分子动力学模拟。得到的分子结构有两个严格弯曲的网站。腺嘌呤束区和非腺嘌呤束区之间存在两个弯曲位点。腺嘌呤束区未见弯曲。这些结果支持了腺嘌呤束弯曲机制的junklord模型。3.一种抗肿瘤剂，顺式铂（cis-Pt）在两个相邻鸟嘌呤碱基的N7位上采用。通过500 Mz质子NMR测量具有d（CGAACGGCGCG）：d（CGCGCCTTGCG）的顺式铂络合物，药物与DNA双螺旋的连接不稳定，但不引起碱基配对中氢键形成的破坏。通过模型研究，提出了药物附着位点的扭结构象和小沟处的开放构象。4.通过分子力学和动力学模拟计算，寻找具有I-A碱基配对的DNA分子的合适构象。具有相似构象能的两种可能的构象是可改变的。这与d（CGCIAATTAGCG）的NMR研究结果一致。
