RESUMO
The crystal structure of the DNA minor-groove DNA-binding drug berenil has been determined. Molecular-modelling techniques have been used to establish plausible binding modes of the structure to A-T sequences. These have shown that specific hydrogen bonds are possible between the amidine groups of the drug molecule and 02 atoms of thymine, although global energy minimisations tended to emphasise electrostatic interactions with phosphate groups rather than these hydrogen bonds with bases.
