In this study, the differential binding ability of aminoglycosides to DNA structures was investigated using electrochemical method and principal component analysis (PCA). It was found that the structure and sequence of DNA, as well as the size and structure of small molecules, can affect the binding ability between aminoglycosides and DNA. This research presents a new approach for classifying DNA structure and designing targeted drugs.
Herein, we reported the differential binding ability of aminoglycosides to DNA structures using electrochemical method through principal component analysis (PCA) to classify different DNA secondary structures and understand the link between secondary structure and DNA conformation. In these analyses, the DNA with different secondary structure motifs: bulge, internal loop, hairpin loop and stem loop were designed. The aminoglycosides as receptors were modified on the surface of electrode. In the presence of DNA, the DNA will be absorbed on the surface of electrode via the recognition of DNA and aminoglycosides, resulting in the electrochemical signal observed in [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-. Furthermore, the DNA structures labeled with 2-aminopurine (2-AP) at the structural motif of interest were also employed to study the binding affinity between aminoglycosides and different DNA motifs. The PCA suggested that this method may achieve nucleotide-specific classification of two independent secondary structure motifs, and the structure and sequence of DNA and the size and structure of small molecule could affect the binding ability of the aminoglycosides and DNA. This approach presents a new approach to classify DNA structure and offers ideas for designing targeted drugs small molecule compounds for wound dressing and drug delivery.
