natural ligands

  

Naturally-occurring DNA-binding ligands

Ligand: Spermidine  Effect on DNA structure: Affects bending    


Reference(s): Feuerstein, B.G., Pattabiraman and Marton, L.J. Molecular Mechanics of the Interactions of Spermine with DNA: DNA bending as a result of ligand binding. Nucleic Acids Res. 18(5):1271-1282 (1990) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC330444/   


Ligand: Spermidine and Spermine  


Effect on DNA structure: Increase writhing and limit twisting
