Targeting RNA by small molecules: comparative structural and thermodynamic aspects of aristololactam-β-D-glucoside and daunomycin binding to tRNA(phe).

BACKGROUND: Interaction of aristololactam-β-D-glucoside and daunomycin with tRNA(phe) was investigated using various biophysical techniques. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Absorption and fluorescence studies revealed that both the compounds bind tRNA(phe) non-cooperatively. The binding of daunomyci...
