Molecular mechanism, binding free energy, and sequence selectivity of intercalation of doxorubicin and DNA
(2021)
selectivity depends mainly on the base pairs located downstream from the DOX intercalation site, with a preference for (AT)2 or (TA)2 driven by the favorable electrostatic and/or van der Waals interactions. Invoking the quartet sequence model proved to be most...
