Abstract
Biaryl derivatives that consist of one DNA-intercalating unit and a sterically demanding component exhibit a specific behavior towards abasic site-containing DNA (AP-DNA) as determined by thermal DNA denaturation experiments, spectrometric titrations and CD spectroscopic analysis. Specifically, these ligands strongly stabilize AP-DNA towards dissociation, whereas they do not or only marginally affect the melting temperature of regular duplex DNA.Keywords: DNA damage; DNA ligands; DNA recognition; abasic DNA; nitrogen heterocycles
