Ruthenium bipyridyl complexes as photocleavable dimerizers: deactivation of DNA-binding peptides using visible light.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a photolabile biselectrophilic Ru(II) complex that can be used for homo- or heterodimerization of cysteine-containing peptides. The resulting dimers can be efficiently disassembled by long-wavelength light. As proof-of-concept, we describe the preparation of homo- and heterodimeric bZIP peptides whose DNA-binding properties can be turned off using visible light.

Metallo‐Supramolecular Gels that are Photocleavable with Visible and Near‐Infrared Irradiation
A photolabile ruthenium-based complex, [Ru(bpy)2 (4AMP)2 ](PF6 )2 , (4AMP=4-(aminomethyl)pyridine) is incorporated into polyurea organo- and hydrogels via the reactive amine moieties on the photocleavable 4AMP ligands. While showing long-term stability in the dark, cleavage of the pyridine-ruthenium bond upon irradiation with visible or near-infrared irradiation (in a two-photon process) leads ...
متن کاملOrganic dye-sensitized TiO2 for the redox conversion of water pollutants under visible light.
Titania nanoparticles sensitized with metal-free organic dye exhibit high visible-light activities for the redox conversion of water pollutants in a wider pH range in comparison with TiO(2) sensitized with ruthenium bipyridyl complexes.
متن کاملPhotocontrolled DNA binding of a receptor-targeted organometallic ruthenium(II) complex.
A photoactivated ruthenium(II) arene complex has been conjugated to two receptor-binding peptides, a dicarba analogue of octreotide and the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) tripeptide. These peptides can act as "tumor-targeting devices" since their receptors are overexpressed on the membranes of tumor cells. Both ruthenium-peptide conjugates are stable in aqueous solution in the dark, but upon irradiation wit...
متن کاملTris(tetramethylphenanthroline)ruthenium(II): a chiral probe that cleaves A-DNA conformations.
lambda-Tris(3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) [lambda-Ru(TMP)2+3] was found to be a distinctive molecular tool to examine the local variations in conformation along the strand. The metal complex binds cooperatively to A-form helices of various base sequences under conditions where little or no binding was found to analogous B-form DNAs. Photoactivated DNA cleavage may be cou...
متن کاملA fast ruthenium polypyridine cage complex photoreleases glutamate with visible or IR light in one and two photon regimes.
We introduce a new caged glutamate, based in a ruthenium bipyridyl core, that undergoes heterolytic cleavage after irradiation with visible light with wavelengths up to 532nm, yielding free glutamate in less than 50ns. Glutamate photorelease occurs also efficiently following two-photon (2P) excitation at 800nm, and has a functional cross section of 0.14GM.
