Beilstein J. Org. Chem. 2013, 9, 2696–2708, doi:10.3762/bjoc.9.306

Graphical Abstract
  • contrast, the pyrrolidine rings of fluorinated ligand 10 were more rigid, with the fluorine atoms preferring to occupy an axial position consistent with a favourable C–F…N+ interaction (worth approximately 5.0 kcal/mol). This led to a number of changes to the DNA binding mode of 10, including a rotation of
  • influenced by a C–F…N+ charge–dipole interaction. Fluorination ridifies the pyrrolidine rings of ligand 10, with several consequences for its G-quadruplex DNA binding properties. Proline 11 readily undergoes a ring-flip process, but (4R)-fluoroproline 12 is more rigid because of hyperconjugation (σCH → σ*CF

Graphical Abstract
  • a methoxy group in the C8 position is reported to increase potency and decrease toxicity. Furthermore, it was found that a cyclopropyl group was beneficial for the enzyme–DNA binding complex while the bulky nitrogen-based appendage at C7 helps to bind to DNA gyrase and hinders the efflux of the drug

Graphical Abstract
  • TARDBP, which encodes for the trans-activating response (TAR) DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), FUS/TLS, which encodes the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma, and VAPB, a gene encoding the vesicle-associated membrane-protein-associated protein B/C, and animal models based on mutations in these genes
  • proteins associated with ALS. Trans-activating response (TAR) DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is a nucleotide-binding protein important for gene transcription and mRNA splicing, transport, and stabilization [38]. Mutations in the TARDBP gene, which encodes TDP-43, are responsible for up to 6.5% of fALS [1

The hybrid molecules that combined photoactivated alkynes with a dicationic moiety derived from
  • follow the order of the photocycloaddition of their acetamides. Although the m-substituted acetylene was more photoreactive toward 1,4-CHD, the corresponding conjugate 6 produced less DNA cleavage than conjugate 1. This suggests that either the difference in DNA binding overshadows the intrinsic

Obviously, the bisphosphonate’s high negative charge density is especially effective for protein surfaces with a high density of basic amino acids such as the DNA-binding histones or for those offering distinct clusters of cationic amino acid residues (e.g. BSA). Interestingly, although in most cases
