Polyamides containing N-methylimidazole (Im) and N-methylpyrrole (Py) amino acids can becombined in antiparallel side-by-side dimeric complexes for sequence-specific recognition in the minor grooveof DNA. Because the curvature of four or five contiguous Im-Py rings does not perfectly match the canonicalB-helix, -alanine () residues have been inserted to reset the register. Complexes of three pyrrole-imidazolepolyamides of sequence composition ImPyPy-X-PyPyPy-Dp, where X = Py, , or glycine (G), bound to a 13base pair DNA duplex containing a 9 base pair 5'-TGTATATCA-3' match site were characterized by NMR.NMR titrations and NOESY data combined with restrained molecular modeling show that each polyamideadopts an extended antiparallel dimeric conformation with the ligands fully overlapped around a central Py/Py, G/G, or / pair. Conformational exchange is seen near the linker for the G-linked complex, but not withthe or Py linkers. In addition to providing the first direct structural evidence for formation of the aliphatic/ pairing in the minor groove, models support the idea that the linker of ImPyPy--PyPyPy-Dp providesan optimal combination of size, flexibility, and alignment of the polyamide-paired aromatic subunits in extended,dimeric 2:1 complexes.
