Schematic depicting the molecular interactions between DNA and ligands. (a) General representation of the binding site of the compounds. This is further elucidated through detailed illustrations of the molecular interactions facilitated by (b) (E)-caryophyllene, (c) δ-cadinene, (d) caryophyllene oxide, and (e) viridiflorene. Each compound’s specific mode of interaction with DNA is highlighted, providing insights into their respective roles in molecular binding processes.
