Ni^{II}(Chro)_{2} (Chro=chromomycin A3) binds specifically to the minor groove of (CCG)_{n} repeats in duplex DNA, with unique fluorescence features that may serve as a probe for disease detection. Crystallographic studies revealed that the specificity originates from the large‐scale spatial rearrangement of the DNA structure, including extrusion of consecutive bases and backbone distortions, with a sharp bending of the duplex accompanied by conformational changes in the Ni^{II} chelate itself. The DNA deformation of CCG repeats upon binding forms a GGCC tetranucleotide tract, which is recognized by Ni^{II}(Chro)_{2}. The extruded cytosine and last guanine nucleotides form water‐mediated hydrogen bonds, which aid in ligand recognition. The recognition can be accounted for by the classic induced‐fit paradigm. date: 2017-07-17 date_type: published publisher: WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH official_url: https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201703989 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1297271 doi: 10.1002/anie.201703989 lyricists_name: Neidle, Stephen lyricists_id: SNEID18 actors_name: Kalinowski, Damian actors_id: DKALI47 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Angewandte Chemie International Edition volume: 56 number: 30 pagerange: 8761-8765 pages: 5 issn: 1521-3773 citation: Tseng, W-H; Chang, C-K; Wu, P-C; Hu, N-J; Lee, G-H; Tzeng, C-C; Neidle, S; Tseng, W-H; Chang, C-K; Wu, P-C; Hu, N-J; Lee, G-H; Tzeng, C-C; Neidle, S; Hou, M-H; - view fewer <#> (2017) Induced-Fit Recognition of CCG Trinucleotide Repeats by a Nickel-Chromomycin Complex Resulting in Large-Scale DNA Deformation.
