Description
Biochem/physiol Actions Unusual n-methylpyrrole-containing oligopeptide that binds to AT-rich sequences of dsDNA, especially in the minor groove. Thus, it protects such regions from DNase I and other endonucleases, and also inhibits topoisomerases. Netropsin disrupts the cell cycle, prolonging G and arresting in G.
Caution Protect from light.
