Development of a Metal‐Ion‐Mediated Base Pair for Electron Transfer in DNA

A new C‐nucleoside structurally based on the hydroxyquinoline ligand was synthesized that is able to form stable pairs in DNA in both the absence and the presence of metal ions. The interactions between the metal centers in adjacent Cu^II‐mediated base pairs in DNA were probed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The metal–metal distance falls into the range of previously reported values. Fluorescence studies with a donor–DNA–acceptor system indicate that photoinduced charge‐transfer processes across these metal‐ion‐mediated base pairs in DNA occur more efficiently than over natural base pairs.

DNA modified with metal complexes: Applications in the construction of higher order metal–DNA nanostructures

DNA has recently emerged as a useful building block for higher order nanostructures, such as extended two-dimensional surfaces and discrete two- and three-dimensional structures. Transition metal complexes can introduce functionality to these otherwise passive nanostructures. This review examines the synthetic strategies used to introduce metals in a site-specific manner to DNA: either by attaching preformed metal complexes to DNA, or by metal coordination to unmodified or modified DNA. The applications of metal–DNA complexes in building higher order nanostructures and the utility of attaching luminescent or electrochemical labels are discussed.     

Effect of divalent metal ions on DNA studied by capillary electrophoresis

Divalent metal ions, such as Zn(2+), Co(2+), and Ni(2+), are capable of incorporating into DNA under certain conditions to form complexes termed M-DNA. To better understand the effects of these cations on DNA we used capillary electrophoresis (CE). The presence of these metal ions in a typical genotyping buffer led to broad peaks with low fluorescence intensities. In addition, some of the metal-complexed DNA molecules had different electrophoretic mobilities than their normal DNA counterparts. It is likely that the mobility shifts observed in the electropherograms of these affected fragments are due to the divalent cations causing structural changes in the single-stranded DNA. However, as can be seen from the resulting peak shapes, the structure, charge, and/or mass changes due to metal binding are not conserved among all of the DNA fragments. The extent of both peak-broadening and mobility shifts were found to be dependent on the metal cation and its concentration, the length of time that the DNA sample existed in formamide prior to injection into the capillary, and also the fragment size and sequence. These results suggest that the presence of metal ions might be responsible for the poor CE performance that occurs when genotyping certain kinds of DNA samples.     

Evaluation of complexes of DNA duplexes and novel benzoxazoles or benzimidazoles by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry is used to compare the metal ion binding and metal-mediated DNA binding of benzoxazole (1, 2, 3, 4) and benzimidazole (5) compounds and to elucidate the putative binding modes and stoichiometries. The observed metal versus non-metal-mediated DNA binding, as well as the specificity of DNA binding, is correlated with the biological activities of the analogs. The ESI-MS spectra for the antibacterial benzoxazole and benzimidazole analogs 4 and 5 demonstrated non-specific and non-metal-mediated binding to DNA, with the appearance of DNA complexes containing multiple ligands. The anticancer analog 2 demonstrates a clear preference for metal-mediated DNA interactions, with an apparent selectivity for Ni2+ -mediated binding over the more physiologically relevant Mg2+ or Zn2+ cations. Complexation between DNA and the biologically inactive analog 1 was not observed, either in the absence or presence of metal cations.     

Influence of metal ions on the interaction between gatifloxacin and calf thymus DNA

To study the interaction between gatifloxacin (GT), metal ions (Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Co²⁺, Mg²⁺) and calf thymus DNA under condition of physiology pH, UV absorption and fluorescence methods were adopted. Result shows that metal ions and DNA are able to react with GT in ground state. In further research, by studying the influence of metal ions on binding of GT with DNA in metal ions–GT–DNA ternary system, we found that influential mechanism of Mg²⁺ on the binding of GT with DNA may be different from the other three. Mg²⁺ can act as a bridge in the binding of GT's carboxyl/carbonyl with DNA phosphate in certain concentration range; while Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Co²⁺ can combine directly with GT by reaction between GT carboxyl/carbonyl and DNA base, and enhance the binding ability of GT with DNA. The influence extent and type depend not only on the binding site of DNA with metal ions (phosphate or base), but also the binding ability of which. The stronger the binding ability of metal ions with DNA base is, the larger their promotion to binding of GT with DNA is. The order of metal ions’ influential ability on the binding of GT–DNA is identical to the binding ability order of metal ions with DNA base, that is: Cu²⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Co²⁺ > Mg²⁺.     

Influence of Mg2+ and Cd2+ on the interaction between sparfloxacin and calf thymus DNA

Mg(2+) and Cd(2+) have different binding capacity to sparfloxacin, and have different combination modes with calf thymus DNA. Selecting these two different metal ions, the influence of them on the binding constants between SPFX and calf thymus DNA, as well as the related mechanism have been studied by using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The result shows that Cd(2+) has weak binding capacity to SPFX in the SPFX-Cd(2+) binary system, but can decrease the binding between SPFX and DNA obviously in SPFX-DNA-Cd(2+) ternary system. Mg(2+) has strong binding capacity to SPFX. It can increase the binding between SPFX and DNA at concentrations <0.01 mM, and decrease the binding between them at concentrations >0.01 mM. Referring to the different modes of Mg(2+) and Cd(2+) binding to DNA, the mechanism of the influence of metal ions on the binding between SPFX and DNA has been proposed. SPFX can directly bind to DNA by chelating DNA base sites. If a metal ion at certain concentration mainly binds to DNA bases, it can decrease the binding constants between SPFX and DNA through competing with SPFX. While if a metal ion at certain concentration mainly binds to phosphate groups of DNA, it can increase the binding constants by building a bridge between SPFX and DNA. The influence direction of metal ions on the binding between quinolone and DNA relays on their binding ratio of affinity for bases to phosphate groups on DNA. Our result supports Palumbo's conclusion that the binding between SPFX and the phosphate groups is the precondition for the combination between SPFX and DNA, which is stabilized through stacking interactions between the condensed rings of SPFX and DNA bases.

DNA sequencing with titanium nitride electrodes

We construct a hydrogen‐bond based metal–molecule–metal junction, which contains two identical “reader” molecules, one single DNA base as a bridged molecule, and two titanium nitride electrodes. Hydrogen bonds are formed between “reader” molecules and DNA base, whereas titanium–sulfur bonds are formed between “reader” molecules and titanium nitride electrodes. We perform electronic structure calculations for both the bare bridged molecule and the full metal–molecule–metal system. The projected density of states shows that when the molecule is connected to the titanium nitride electrode, the energy levels of the bridged molecule are shifted, with an indirect effect on the hydrogen bonds. This is similar to the case for a gold electrode but with a more pronounced effect. We also calculate the current–voltage characteristics for the molecular junctions containing each DNA base. Results show that titanium nitride as an electrode can generate distinct conductance for each DNA base, providing an alternative electrode for DNA sequencing. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
