The characterization of a new class of pyrrole-imidazole hairpin polyamides with beta-amino-gamma-turn units for recognition of the DNA minor groove is reported. A library of eight hairpins containing ( R)- and ( S)-3,4-diaminobutyric acid (beta-amino-gamma-turn) has been synthesized, and the impact of the molecules on DNA-duplex stabilization was studied for comparison with the parent gamma-aminobutyric acid (gamma-turn) and standard ( R)-2,4-diaminobutyric acid (alpha-amino-gamma-turn)-linked ...[more]
