چکیده

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.

Metal-mediated base pairs in parallel-stranded DNA

In nucleic acid chemistry, metal-mediated base pairs represent a versatile method for the site-specific introduction of metal-based functionality. In metal-mediated base pairs, the hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleobases are replaced by coordinate bonds to one or two transition metal ions located in the helical core. In recent years, the concept of metal-mediated base pairing has found...

Thioflavin T binds dimeric parallel-stranded GA-containing non-G-quadruplex DNAs: a general approach to lighting up double-stranded scaffolds

A molecular rotor thioflavin T (ThT) is usually used as a fluorescent ligand specific for G-quadruplexes. Here, we demonstrate that ThT can tightly bind non-G-quadruplex DNAs with several GA motifs and dimerize them in a parallel double-stranded mode, accompanied by over 100-fold enhancement in the fluorescence emission of ThT. The introduction of reverse Watson-Crick T-A base pairs into these ...

Construction and assembly of chimeric DNA: oligonucleotide hybrid molecules composed of parallel or antiparallel duplexes and tetrameric i-motifs.

Chimeric DNA containing parallel (ps) and antiparallel (aps) duplex elements as well as poly-dC tracts were designed and synthesized. Oligonucleotide duplexes with ps chain orientation containing reverse Watson-Crick dA-dT base pairs and short d(C)2 tails are stabilized under slightly acidic conditions by hemiprotonated dCH+-dC base pairs ("clamp" effect). Corresponding molecules with aps orien...

Label-free emission assay of mercuric ions using DNA duplexes of poly(dT).

In this study, an assay to quantify the presence of mercuric ions and methyl mercury by double-stranded DNA containing a poly(dT) sequence was developed using a light switch compound, Ru(phen)(2)(dppz)(2+) (1), which is known to intercalate into double-stranded DNA. Upon treatment with mercuric ions, the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) emission derived from the intercalation of 1 was red...

Robust silver-mediated imidazolo-dC base pairs in metal DNA: dinuclear silver bridges with exceptional stability in double helices with parallel and antiparallel strand orientation.

A new unprecedented metal-mediated base pair was designed that stabilizes reverse Watson-Crick DNA (parallel strand orientation, ps) as well as canonical Watson-Crick DNA (antiparallel strand orientation, aps). This base pair contains two imidazolo-dC units decorated with furan residues. Tm measurements and spectroscopic studies reveal that each silver-mediated furano-imidazolo-dC forms excepti...
