A hairpin polyamide that was designed to bind to the transcription factor IIIA binding site was shown to readily permeate cells, enter the nucleus, and specifically inhibit the expression of the 5S RNA gene. This success reveals the outstanding potential of the hairpin polyamides as economical regulators of gene expression.

The results of the analysis reveal that the hydrophobic transfer process is the overwhelming driving force for Hoechst 33258 binding to a specific DNA sequence. The change in the solvent-accessible surface area, computed from the known X-ray structure, was shown to correlate well with the experimentally determined heat capacity change for the binding reaction, providing a direct link between structure and energetics.
