Table 2. ITC derived binding and thermodynamic profiles for the interaction of harmalol to various polynucleotidesa.
Polynucleotides | K b (×106 M−1) | n | ΔGo (kcal/mol) | ΔHo (kcal/mol) | TΔSo (kcal/mol) |
poly(dA-dT).poly(dA-dT) | 0.44±0.02 | 0.18 | −7.74 | −2.00 | 5.74 |
poly(dA).poly(dT) | 0.30±0.02 | 0.11 | −7.51 | +0.30 | 7.81 |
poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC) | 3.86±0.07 | 0.30 | −9.04 | −5.00 | 4.04 |
poly(dG).poly(dC) | 0.22±0.03 | 0.12 | −7.33 | −1.98 | 5.35 |
Average of three determinations in CP buffer of 15 mM [Na+], pH 6.8. Values of ΔGo were determined using the equation ΔGo = −RT ln K b and TΔSo = ΔHo−ΔGo. n denotes the binding site size.
