Development of linear β-turn inducers containing peptides as arc mimetics with DNA topological and sequence selectivity

In general, biological macromolecules such as proteins interact with the major groove of the ds-DNA via hydrogen bonds formation, thus blocking the site access of TFs to specific DNA sequences. Considering that the primary sequence of arc repressor responsible for DNA binding is well-characterized a...
