Abstract
The noncovalent intercalative interactions between a deoxydinucleoside model for DNA and the enantiomers of [carcinogen] anti-benzo[a]pyrenediol epoxide, were studied by molecular mechanics and computer graphics methods. Stereoselective differences between major and minor groove sites and between the enantiomers were found in terms of attractive close contacts.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
