Synthesis of covalently linked parallel and antiparallel DNA duplexes containing the metal-mediated base pairs T-Hg(II)-T and C-Ag(I)-C.
DNA duplexes fixed in anti-parallel and parallel orientations by introducing covalent linkages have been synthesized and metal ions, Hg(II) and Ag(I), were incorporated into pyrimidine-pyrimidine base pairs.
متن کاملElectronic coupling mediated by stacked [Thymine-Hg-Thymine] base pairs.
Very recently it has been shown that stable metal-mediated base pairs [Thymine-Hg-Thymine] can form in DNA. To estimate the effect of such pairs on the efficiency of charge transfer through DNA, we carry out quantum mechanical calculations of double-stranded pi-stacks GXG, GXXG, and GXXXG, where X = [Thymine-Hg-Thymine] and stacks GT(n)G of canonical base pairs. The charge-transfer efficiency i...
متن کاملRaman spectroscopic detection of the T-HgII-T base pair and the ionic characteristics of mercury
Developing applications for metal-mediated base pairs (metallo-base-pair) has recently become a high-priority area in nucleic acid research, and physicochemical analyses are important for designing and fine-tuning molecular devices using metallo-base-pairs. In this study, we characterized the Hg(II)-mediated T-T (T-Hg(II)-T) base pair by Raman spectroscopy, which revealed the unique physical an...
متن کاملReactivity of ferrocenylcarbodiimide with DNA duplex containing single-mismatched base pairs.
Ferrocenylcarbodiimide (1), which is known to react with a guanine (G) or thymine (T) base of single stranded DNA, was allowed to react with DNA duplex having a single mismatched base pair of G-T, T-T, or T-cytosine (C). Electrophoreograms of the reaction mixture showed that 1 could react with G or T base of the mismatched sites on the DNA duplex. However, 1 also reacted with the G base of the ...
متن کاملParallel-stranded duplex DNA containing blocks of trans purine-purine and purine-pyrimidine base pairs.
A 30 base pair parallel-stranded (ps) duplex ps-L1.L2 composed of two adjoined purine-purine and purine-pyrimidine sequence blocks has been characterized thermodynamically and spectroscopically. The 5'-terminal 15 residues in both strands ('left-half') consisted of the alternating d(GA)7G sequence that forms a ps homoduplex secondary structure stabilized by d(G.G) and d(A.A) base pairs. The 3'-...
