Abstract:

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was used to investigate the interaction of fangchinoline with G-quadruplex and duplex DNA. The results showed that fangchinoline selectively bound to G-quadruplex DNA. Upon MS/MS experiments, complexes of fangchinoline and G-quadruplex DNA underwent the loss of fangchinoline, suggesting an end-stacking binding mode, while complexes of fangchinoline and duplex DNA underwent the loss of fangchinoline, suggesting the intercalated binding mode.

Key words: Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(ESI-MS), Duplex DNA, G-quadruplex, Fangchinoline, Interaction
