Synthesis and DNA-binding properties of water-soluble cationic pyropheophorbides derived from chlorophyll a/b.
A series of mono-, di-, tetra- and hexacationic esters of pyropheophorbide a/b have been designed and synthesized to explore the intercalation of their phorbine ring between the base pairs of double-helical DNA and the influence of their peripheral substituents on the DNA interactions. Mono-(1), di-(2, 3) and tetra-(4, 5) cationic pyropheophorbides are soluble as an oligomeric aggregate in HEPE...
متن کاملG-Quadruplex DNA Bound by a Synthetic Ligand is Highly Dynamic
Using single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer, we investigated the interaction between a quadruplex-binding ligand and the human telomeric G-quadruplex. The binding of quinolinecarboxamide macrocycle to telomeric DNA was essentially irreversible and selectively induced and favored one quadruplex conformation. The ligand-quadruplex complex displayed intramolecular dynamics includi...
متن کاملCharge transport in DNA duplex/quadruplex conjugates.
DNA conjugates containing adjacent duplex and guanine quadruplex assemblies have been designed to explore charge transport into quadruplex architectures. The quadruplex assemblies have been characterized structurally using circular dichroism and by assaying for chemical protection. Using an intercalating rhodium photooxidant, noncovalently bound or tethered to the duplex end, oxidizing radicals...
متن کاملIdentifying G-quadruplex-binding ligands using DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles.
The G-rich overhang of human telomere tends to form a G-quadruplex structure, and G-quadruplex formation can effectively inhibit telomerase activity in most cancer cells. Therefore, it is important to identify the formation and properties of the G-quadruplex, with the particular aim of selecting G-quadruplex-binding ligands that could potentially lead to the development of anticancer therapeuti...
متن کاملEnergy and Electron Transfer Dynamics within a Series of Perylene Diimide/Cyclophane Systems.
Artificial photosynthetic systems for solar energy conversion exploit both covalent and supramolecular chemistry to produce favorable arrangements of light-harvesting and redox-active chromophores in space. An understanding of the interplay between key processes for photosynthesis, namely light-harvesting, energy transfer, and photoinduced charge separation and the design of novel, self-assembl...
