Five peptides of general structure X-Ser-Pro-Thr-Ser-Pro-Ser-Y (X = Tyr, quinoxaline2-carbonyl, acridine-9-carbonyl, Y = Tyr, (quinoxalin-2-yl)amino) were prepared using standard solid-phase peptide synthesis technique. Their interaction with DNA (calf thymus DNA and plasmids pUC9, pΔNS and pGEMEX) was studied using UV and CD spectroscopy, sedimentation analysis and agarose gel electrophoresis after treatment with topoisomerase 1. ln contrast to earlier findings (Suzuki M.: Nature 1990, 344, 562) intercalation into DNA structure has not been proved for any compound studied.
