Abstract
A novel neomycin-methidium conjugate was synthesized. The covalent linkage of the aminoglycoside to an intercalator, a derivative of ethidium bromide, results in a new conjugate capable of selective recognition of the DNA:RNA hybrid duplex. Spectroscopic methods: UV, CD, fluorescence, and calorimetric techniques: DSC and ITC were used to characterize the sub-nanomolar binding displayed by the conjugate for the DNA:RNA hybrid duplex, poly(dA):poly(rU).Entities:
