Distance-independent DNA charge transport across an adenine tract.
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA-mediated charge transport across adenine tracts was monitored using a probe inside the bridge N 6-cyclopropyladenine. This trap, incorporated serially across the bridge, could be oxidized by a distal rhodium photooxidant without a significant decrease in the yield over a distance of five nanometers. These results are consistent with complete radical delocalization across the DNA bridge.

Single-step charge transport through DNA over long distances.
Quantum yields for charge transport across adenine tracts of increasing length have been measured by monitoring hole transport in synthetic oligonucleotides between photoexcited 2-aminopurine, a fluorescent analogue of adenine, and N(2)-cyclopropyl guanine. Using fluorescence quenching, a measure of hole injection, and hole trapping by the cyclopropyl guanine derivative, we separate the individ...
متن کاملBack-electron transfer suppresses the periodic length dependence of DNA-mediated charge transport across adenine tracts.
DNA-mediated charge transport (CT) is exquisitely sensitive to the integrity of the bridging pi-stack and is characterized by a shallow distance dependence. These properties are obscured by poor coupling between the donor/acceptor pair and the DNA bridge, or by convolution with other processes. Previously, we found a surprising periodic length dependence for the rate of DNA-mediated CT across a...

The interaction between nanoparticles and biomolecules such as protein andDNA is one of the major instructions of nanobiotechnology research. In this study,we have explored the interaction of adenine nucleic base with a representativegolden cluster (Au13) by using dispersion corrected density functional theory(DFT-D3) within GGA-PBE model of theory. Various active sites ...
متن کاملFemtosecond direct observation of charge transfer between bases in DNA.
Charge transfer in supramolecular assemblies of DNA is unique because of the notion that the pi-stacked bases within the duplex may mediate the transport, possibly leading to damage and/or repair. The phenomenon of transport through pi-stacked arrays over a long distance has an analogy to conduction in molecular electronics, but the mechanism still needs to be determined. To decipher the elemen...
متن کاملDNA charge transport: conformationally gated hopping through stacked domains.
The role of base motions in delocalization and propagation of charge through double helical DNA must be established experimentally and incorporated into mechanistic descriptions of DNA-mediated charge transport (CT). Here, we address these fundamental issues by examining the temperature dependence of the yield of CT between photoexcited 2-aminopurine (Ap) and G through DNA bridges of varied len...
