摘要:
Comparison of the DNA cleavage activity of man-designed bleomycins demonstrates that bleomycins are small enzymes comprised of a catalytic site and a binding site. The linker moiety is shown to be significant for DNA binding, and inversion of its stereochemistry results in a dramatic decrease in the DNA-cleaving efficiency. One of the man-designed BLMs shows excellent cytotoxicity against L1210.
