Mesityl phenanthroline-modified 2'-deoxyuridine for heteroleptic complexes in metal ion-mediated assembly of DNA.
The synthesis of a new DNA building block that bears the metal ion ligand 2,9-bis-mesityl-3-ethynyl-phenanthroline attached to the 5-position of 2'-deoxyuridine is presented. In the presence of Zn(2+), Cu(2+), Fe(2+) and Ni(2+) the complex formation of an accordingly modified DNA double strand with a second DNA duplex bearing the 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand was studied by optical spectroscop...
متن کاملSelf-biotinylation of DNA G-quadruplexes via intrinsic peroxidase activity
The striking and ubiquitous in vitro affinity between hemin and DNA/RNA G-quadruplexes raises the intriguing possibility of its relevance to biology. To date, no satisfactory experimental framework has been reported for investigating such a possibility. Complexation by G-quadruplexes leads to activation of the bound hemin toward catalysis of 1- and 2-electron oxidative reactions, with phenolic ...
متن کاملEngineering of interlocked DNA G-quadruplexes as a robust scaffold
Interlock is a structural element in DNA G-quadruplexes that can be compared with the commonly used complementary binding of 'sticky ends' in DNA duplexes. G-quadruplex interlocking can be a basis for the assembly of higher-order structures. In this study, we formulated a rule to engineer (3 + 1) interlocked dimeric G-quadruplexes and established the folding topology of the designed DNA sequenc...
متن کاملInteractions of selected gold(III) complexes with DNA G quadruplexes.
The interactions of three representative gold(III) complexes with human telomeric DNA sequences were analysed using a variety of biophysical methods, including DNA melting, circular dichroism, SPR and ESI MS; remarkable interactions were highlighted for all tested complexes, although they were associated to significantly different binding profiles. The most interesting compound was Auoxo6, a di...
متن کاملTargeting DNA G-Quadruplexes with Helical Small Molecules
We previously identified quinoline-based oligoamide helical foldamers and a trimeric macrocycle as selective ligands of DNA quadruplexes. Their helical structures might permit targeting of the backbone loops and grooves of G-quadruplexes instead of the G-tetrads. Given the vast array of morphologies G-quadruplex structures can adopt, this might be a way to achieve sequence selective binding. He...
