Double-helical DNA accelerates the rate of ligation of two six-ring hairpin polyamides which bind adjacent sites in the minor groove via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to form a tandem dimer. The rate of the templated reaction is dependent on DNA sequence as well as on the distance between the hairpin-binding sites. The tandem dimer product of the DNA-templated reaction has improved binding properties with respect to the smaller hairpin fragments. Since cell and nuclear uptake of DNA-binding polyamides will likely be dependent on size, this is a minimum first step toward the design of self-assembling small gene-regulating fragments to produce molecules of increasing complexity with more specific genomic targeting capabilities.
