The intercalation of DNA and drug compounds has been studied thoroughly, in this case the nucleotide d(CGTACG) was complexed with an anthraquinone derivative. This derivative, 1,5-bis[3-(diethylamino)propionamido]anthracene-9,10-dione, provided researchers with the information needed to solve <scene name='48/483883/Rainbow_sheet/1'>the structure of the complex</scene> using X-Ray crystallography. Along with the structure, the important forces involved in binding were analyzed and described as heavily reliant on cations. Furthermore, the binding site seems to be specific to anthracene and similar molecules. Therefore, the potential for drug compounds to be carrying by this nucleotide complex requires further research. | The intercalation of DNA and drug compounds has been studied thoroughly, in this case the nucleotide d(CGTACG) was complexed with an anthraquinone derivative.

The 1xcs (model at right) complex is a small, simple globular DNA-peptide complex, and as such lacks secondary beta sheets or alpha helices. The complex consists of two non-identical dimers. A simplified model of 1xcs is shown <scene name='48/483883/Title/4'>here,</scene> with the side chains removed for clarity. The peptide backbones can be followed from N to C termini following along each strand from blue to red. Note that the strands are antiparallel where they are non-covalently bound. <scene name='48/483883/1xcs_with_side_chains/2'>1xcs with the side chains displayed (black)</scene> visualizes this bonding in the middle region of the complex, again following each strand from blue to red from N to C terminus. | The 1xcs (model at right) complex is a small, simple globular DNA-peptide complex, and as such lacks secondary beta sheets or alpha helices.

1xcs is a complex with DNA and it is a two chain structure. It has ligands A4L, BA and CO. There are strong cation interactions that help form a crystal structure. The complex crystallizes when there is either Co(2+), Ba(2+) and Na(+) ions. </scene> | 1xcs is a complex with DNA and it is a two chain structure. It has ligands A4L, BA and CO.
