DNA has found widespread uses as a nanosized scaffold for assembly of patterned multichomophoric nanostructures. Herein we report the synthesis, self-assembly, stability, and spectroscopic studies of short alternating non-self-complementary DNA sequences 5â²-(dGdA)4 and 5â²-(dAdG)4 with non-charged tetraarylporphyrins covalently linked to the 5â² position of deoxyadenosine or deoxyguanosine via a phosphate or amide linker. The linker, the metal in the porphyrin coordination center, and the neighboring nucleobase have very distinct effects on the duplex formation of porphyrinâdeoxyguanosineâdeoxyadenosine oligodeoxynucleotides. At ionic strength between 5 mM and 40 mM, free base trispyridylphenylporphyrin appended to the 5â² termini of 5â²-(dAdG)4 oligonucleotide via short non-polar amide linker served as a hydrophobic molecular cap inducing deoxyadenosineâdeoxyguanosine antiparallel homoduplex. At ionic strength of â¥60 mM, the free base porphyrin functioned as a molecular âglueâ and induced the formation of porphyrinâDNA inter-homoduplex assemblies with characteristic tetrasignate CD Cotton effects in the porphyrin Soret band region. When the porphyrin cap was covalently attached to 5â² position of deoxyguanosine or deoxyadenosine via charged phosphate linker, no significant deoxyadenosineâdeoxyguanosine hybridization was observed even at elevated ionic strengths.
DNA 已被广泛用作一种纳米支架,用于组装图案化多孔纳米结构。在此,我们报告了交替非自互补 DNA 短序列 5â²-(dGdA)4 和 5â²-(dAdG)4 的合成、自组装、稳定性和光谱研究,这些序列带有不带电的四芳基卟啉,通过磷酸或酰胺连接体共价连接到脱氧腺苷或脱氧鸟苷的 5â² 位。连接体、卟啉配位中心的金属和邻近的核碱基对卟啉-脱氧鸟苷-脱氧腺苷寡脱氧核苷酸的双链形成有非常明显的影响。在离子强度介于 5 mM 和 40 mM 之间时,游离碱基三(三吡啶基)苯基卟啉通过非极性短酰胺连接体附着在 5â²-(dAdG)4寡核苷酸的 5â²末端,成为疏水分子帽,诱导脱氧腺苷脱氧鸟苷反平行同源双链。在离子强度为±60 mM时,游离碱基卟啉起到分子 "胶合剂 "的作用,诱导形成卟啉-DNA间的同源双链体,并在卟啉索尔特带区域产生特征性的四木糖CD科顿效应。当卟啉帽通过带电磷酸盐连接体共价连接到脱氧鸟苷或脱氧腺苷的 5² 位时,即使在离子强度升高的情况下,也没有观察到明显的脱氧腺苷与脱氧鸟苷杂交。
