RT Journal Article T1 Selective DNA-Binding by Designed Bisbenzamidine-Homeodomain Chimeras A1 Mosquera Mosquera, Jesús A1 Rodríguez Villar, Jéssica A1 Vázquez Sentís, Marco Eugenio A1 Mascareñas Cid, José Luis K1 DNA recognition K1 Molecular recognition K1 Oligonucleotides K1 Peptides K1 Supramolecular chemistry AB We report the construction of conjugates between three variants of the helix 3 region of a Q50K engrailed homeodomain and bisbenzamidine minor-groove DNA binders. The hybrid featuring the sequence of the native protein failed to bind to DNA; however, modifications that increased the α-helical folding propensity of the peptide allowed specific DNA binding by a bipartite (major/minor groove) interaction PB WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH SN 1439-7633 YR 2014 FD 2014-04-24 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/11967 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/11967 LA eng NO Mosquera, J., Rodríguez, J., Vázquez, M.
