Abstract

A small library of H-pin polyamides with variable aliphatic bridge lengths (CH(2))(n)(), where n = 4-8, connecting a central Py/Py pair was prepared via parallel synthesis with Ru-catalyzed alkene metathesis on solid phase as a complexity-generating cross-linking reaction. DNA binding affinities and sequence specificities were analyzed for each member of the library to determine the optimum linker length. An H-pin polyamide with a six-methylene bridge was found to have the highest affinity to its match site with high selectivity over a 1-bp mismatch site. The relationship between the number of methylenes in the linker (CH(2))(n)() and affinity is n = 6 > 4 > 7 > 5 > 8. These results indicate that 6 followed by 4 methylene-bridged polyamides represent the optimum spacer length for the H-pin motif in the DNA minor groove. Importantly, the H-pin is competitive with hairpin polyamides with respect to affinity and specificity. The metathesis-based convergent synthetic route to H-pin polyamides expands the scope of readily available DNA recognition motifs for small molecule-based gene regulation studies.
