Abstract

We describe the synthesis and purification of a new light-sensitive bifunctional molecule, bis(monoazidomethidium)octaoxahexacosanediamine (BAMO) (1), which contains all the criteria presumed necessary for an interhelical DNA-DNA cross-linker: a photoreactive DNA intercalator, monoazidomethidium, and a polyethyleneoxy chain sufficiently long (>25 Å) to span contiguous nucleic acid double helices. We also present evidence that BAMO efficiently cross-links packaged nucleic acid in intact bacteriophage λ.
