DNA‐Controlled Bivalent Presentation of Ligands for the Estrogen Receptor

Molecular ruler: Steroid analogues were conjugated to DNA by using click chemistry, and self-assembly provided ternary DNA complexes with bivalent ligand presentation. The distance between the bound ligands was measured by spatial screening of the estrogen receptor, and a second hydrophobic binding site was postulated. The picture shows the DNA(black)–raloxifene(orange) complex in the ligand binding domain of the receptor. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
