Materials:

Nucleic Acids. DNA polymers were purchased from Pharmacia Biotech, Inc.

(Piscataway, NJ) and were used without further purification. DNA used include

poly(dA), lot number: 9017836021; poly(dT), lot numbers: 8107834021 and

9107834021; poly(dA)(dT): lot number: 9067860021; Poly(rA): lot number:

7104110011, Poly(rU): lot number: 9034440021;. The concentrations of all the

polymer solutions were determined spectrophotometrically using the following extinction

coefficients (in units of mol of nucleotide/L)-1 cm-1= 8900 for poly(dA), =

9000 for poly(dT), = 6000 for poly(dA)•poly(dT), ), = 9800 for poly(rA),

Triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, 2-aminoethanethiol

hydrochloride, 4-dimethyl-aminopyridine and 1-aminopyrene were purchased from Acros

(New Jersey) and were used without further purification. 4M HCl/disoxane was

purchased from Aldrich and was used without further purification. Methylene chloride,

DMF, dioxane were used as received. Pyridine was purified by CaH2 with distillation

before using.

Pyrene-neomycin Synthesis -Experimental

Compound 1a-1c have previously been reported (Kirk, S. R., Luedtke, N. W., Tor, Y., J.

Am. Chem. Soc., 2000, 122, 980-981).

Compound 1d. Compound 1c (70mg, 0.055mmol) and 4-dimethyl-aminopyridine

(1mg) were dissolved in 5ml anhydrous methylene chloride at room temperature. 1-

pyrenebutyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (64mg, 0.165mmol, 3 equiv.) was added

into the solution. The reaction mixture was kept stirring overnight. Organic solvent was

then removed by vacuum. Flash column chromatography (5% CH3OH in CH2Cl2)

afforded the desired product as a white solid. (62mg, 73%). Rf 0.48 (10% CH 3OH in

CH2Cl2); 1HNMR (500MHz, methanol-d4, 25C): 7.9-8.3 (m, 9H, Acr), 5.48 (br, 1H),

5.37 (1H), 5.13 (1H), 4.92 (1H), 4.23 (1H), 4.09(2H), 3.89 (2H), 3.76 (2H), 3.44-3.56

(6H), 3.0-3.3 (9H), 2.86 (2H), 2.7 (4H), 2.38 (2H), 2.18 (2H), 1.94 (1H), 1.4 (m, 54H).

Compound 1e. Compound 1d (10mg) was dissolved in dioxane (0.6ml, treated over

alumina). 1, 2-ethanedithiol (0.002 ml) was added followed by 4M HCl/dioxane (0.6ml).

The solution was swirled for 5 min by hand upon which a pale yellow precipitate formed.

Further precipitation was induced by adding ether and hexane (0.6ml each). Precipitate

was recovered by centrifugation and several washes with ether and hexane. The pale-

yellow solid was redissolved in water and lyophilized overnight (6mg, 80% yield). max

Computer Modeling

Step I: DNA (TAT) triplex conformation

The original structure of dT10dA10dT10 triplex was obtained from the NMR structure reported by Feigon (Biochemistry 1998). 27 sodium ions were added to neutralize the structure. The conformation was then optimized by AMPER* force field, in water, to within a gradient of 0.5 kJ/molÅ. The movements of the atoms of the external bases were restricted during minimization.

Step II: Neomycin conformation

Neomycin structure was built and optimized with MacroModel and SYBYL programs using AMBER* force field. The all atom AMBER* force field has been used since it contains parameters for both neomycin and the DNA triplex. In accordance with NMR experiments, five of the six-neomycin amines were protonated. Conformational searching was done with Monte Carlo routine from MacroModel, using all atom AMBER* force field, the force field charges, and the continuum GB/SA model of water as implemented in MacroModel. All the flexible bonds were selected.

Step III Pyrene-neomycin conformation

Pyrene-neomycin conformation was generated based on neomycin conformation. The generated conformation was then optimized by AMPER* force field and water as a solvent.

Step IV Docking

Conformation of neomycin bound to W-H groove.

Supplementary Material (ESI) for Chemical CommunicationsThis journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2001

After optimizing the pyrene-neomycin conformation, the structure was docked into Waston-Hoogsteen groove of TAT triplex in different orientations. Restricting the movement of the triplex, the structure of the complex was optimized using AMBER* force field and water as a solvent.
