Abstract

A useful tool for these and related studies would be a small molecule which binds to DNA with a specificity complementary to that of actinomycin D. After surveying a number of likely agents, including nogalamycin, phleomycin, quinacrine, distamytin, and reticulomycin, we concluded that netropsin could best fulfill this requirement.It binds specifically to helical DNA at A-T pairs but not at G-C pairs.It does not intercalate but may cause a structural distortion.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
