Sequence-specific cleavage of double-helical DNA. N-Bromoacetyldistamycin

Abstract

We report that N-bromoacetyldistamcyin (BD) which contains the electrophile bromoacetyl on the amino end of the tripeptide tris-N-methylpyrrolecarboxamide" cleaves a single adenine within a restriction fragment containing 167 base pairs of DNA after 5 h of reaction time at 37 °C followed by a depurination workup procedure.
