Studies of Co-Center-Dot-Bleomycin A2 Green - Its Detailed Structural Characterization by NMR and Molecular Modeling and Its Sequence-Specific Interaction with DNA Oligonucleotides
The structure of homogeneous Co Bleomycin (CoBLM) A2 green (the hydroperoxide form of CoBLM) has been determined using 2D NMR methods and molecular dynamics calculations. Previous studies of Xu et al. (Xu, R. X.; Nettesheim, D.; Otvos, J. D.; Petering, D. H. Biochemistry 1994, 33, 907-916) reported several possible structures for CoBLM A2 green compatible with their NMR data acquired on a mixture of CoBLM A2 green and A2 brown forms. The availability of the pure CoBLM A2 green, which is stable for months at neutral pH, has allowed the complete assignments of the H-1 and C-13 chemical shifts, observation of 55 intramolecular NOEs, and determination of 15 coupling constants allowing the definition of dihedral angles. These results are a prerequisite to determining its structure with duplex DNA of a defined sequence (Wu, W.; Vanderwall, D. E.; Turner, C. J.; Kozarich, J. W.; Stubbe, J. J. Am. Chem. Sec. 1996, 118, 1281-1294).
