Greening the Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis of the First Bicyclic Analogue of the Arc Repressor and Its Binding to DNA.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Biological macromolecules such as proteins often interact with double-stranded DNA through the formation of hydrogen bonds in grooves, thereby modulating the accessibility of transcription factors to specific DNA sequences. Since the primary sequence of the arc repressor responsible for DNA binding and the associated 3D conformational requirements are well characterized, we have designed and synthesized a bicyclic analogue by ultrasound-assisted solid-phase peptide synthesis using a green approach. This new molecular entity was characterized by circular dichroism to verify the β-turn conformation and by a series of NMR experiments to elucidate its 3D structure. Its interaction with DNA oligomers containing the TAGA box was evaluated by using a battery of DNA displacement assays. Fluorescence quenching experiments revealed the close proximity between tryptophan residues and DNA bases, supporting the peptide-DNA interaction. Overall, the data demonstrate that this bicyclic β-sheet arc mimetic engages DNA with sequence selectivity, and to our knowledge, this represents the first report of such a design exhibiting topological preference for DNA grooves.
