Abstract
Flavonoids, low molecular weight polyphenolic compounds, are important natural products that belong to plant secondary metabolites. They have diverse biomedical applications such as antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, enzyme inhibitory, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, aromatase inhibitory effects, etc. Some of the flavonoids have been exported for bindings with certain DNA and tRNA structures both experimentally and computationally. RNA�DNA hybrid (RDH) falls into an important category of noncanonical nucleic acid structures that have many important biological functions. We have investigated the interaction of RDH structures with some of the dietary flavonoids with the aid of computational methods such as docking and molecular dynamics simulation. The presence of the � OH group on the ligand and the availability of a proper binding pocket in the macromolecule are the two main factors driving the binding preference. Thus, this computationally guided report explains the binding of the flavonoids with RDH structures to assist the researchers in designing noncanonical nucleic acid-targeted drug molecules.
