Excess electron transfer dynamics in DNA hairpins conjugated with N,N-dimethylaminopyrene as a photosensitizing electron donor.

چکیده
Excess electron transfer dynamics in DNA hairpins was investigated by femtosecond laser flash photolysis of a donor-DNA-acceptor system using N,N-dimethylaminopyrene and diphenylacetylene as an electron donor and acceptor, respectively. It was revealed that the excess electron hopping rate between T's is faster than that of the hole.

This contribution describes molecular dynamics, semi-empirical and ab-initio studies of the primary photo-induced electron transfer reaction in DNA photolyase. DNA photolyases are FADH(-)-containing proteins that repair UV-damaged DNA by photo-induced electron transfer. A DNA photolyase recognizes and binds to cyclobutatne pyrimidine dimer lesions of DNA. The protein repairs a bound lesion by t...

DNA hairpins in which an electron donor and an electron acceptor are attached to the ends are excellent model systems for the study of charge transfer in weakly coupled pi-stacked systems. In this communication we report on a computational study of the effect of the base pair sequence in these DNA hairpins on the kinetics of charge transfer. We show that the rate of charge transfer strongly dep...
متن کاملPhotoselected electron transfer pathways in DNA photolyase.
Cyclobutane dimer photolyases are proteins that bind to UV-damaged DNA containing cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer lesions. They repair these lesions by photo-induced electron transfer. The electron donor cofactor of a photolyase is a two-electron-reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH(-)). When FADH(-) is photo-excited, it transfers an electron from an excited pi --> pi* singlet state to the py...
