Heat-capacity measurements and thermodynamic functions of crystalline adenine; revised thermodynamic properties of aqueous adenine

The standard molar heat capacity C^°_p,m of adenine(cr) has been measured using adiabatic calorimetry over the range 6<(T/K)<310 and the results used to derive thermodynamic functions for adenine(cr) at smoothed temperatures. At T=298.15 K, C^°_p,m=(142.67±0.29) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ and the third law entropy S^°_m=(145.62±0.29) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹. The standard molar Gibbs free energy of formation Δ_fG^°_m at T=298.15 K for crystalline adenine was calculated, using the standard molar enthalpy of formation for the compound and entropies of the elements from the literature, and found to be Δ_fG^°_m=(301.4±1.0) kJ · mol⁻¹. The results were combined with solution calorimetry and solubility measurements from the literature to yield revised values for the standard molar thermodynamic properties of aqueous adenine at T=298.15 K: Δ_fG^°_m=(313.4±1.0) kJ · mol⁻¹, Δ_fH^°_m=(129.5±1.4) kJ · mol⁻¹, and S_m^°=(217.68±0.44) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹.

The thermodynamics of proton dissociation of adenine

The thermodynamic quantities associated with ionization of the N₁ and N₉ protons of adenine have been calorimetrically determined as a function of temperature. The H values for proton dissociation of these groups, with pK values of 4.19 and 9.92, were found to be 5.1 and 9.1 kcal/mole, respectively, at 25°C, =0.025. The C _p values for proton dissociation of these groups were estimated to be –11 and –17 cal/mole-deg. These results indicate that the large heat capacity changes observed during conformational transitions of polynucleotides are not the result of ionization of the bases.

Low-potential amperometric determination of purine derivatives through surface oxide regeneration method

This article described a novel amperometry which can be used for determination of purine derivatives including uric acid, xanthine, hypoxanthine, guanine, and adenine without surface contamination. By applying a constant potential of −0.125 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in a flow injection system, the chelating capability of these purine derivatives converts the cuprous oxide layer into a soluble complex. This behavior would dissolve the passive oxide layer and expose the bottom copper layer to the solution, subsequently; an oxidation current which attributed to the regeneration of the original cuprous oxide layer is used to reflect the concentration of these purine derivatives. In a 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, this approach provides a high sensitivity with LOQ of sub-micro molar level of five purines and high stability with a RSD of 2.5% for 10 μM xanthine (N = 12). This method does not suffer from most biological species including ascorbic acid, acetaminophen, creatine, dopamine, sarcosine, ammonium ion, chloride ion, and urea at equal or higher than its physiological concentration.     

Synthesis of novel 9-aryl and heteroarylpurine derivatives via copper mediated coupling reaction

A series of 9-(hetero)arylpurine derivatives has been prepared through N-arylation of 6-chloropurine with boronic acids in the presence of copper(II) acetate. Screening reaction conditions in terms of bases and solvents led to the successful coupling of a series of sterically demanding (hetero)arylboronic acids, never described so far. The coupling products were next readily converted into the target adenine derivatives. The described procedure provides easy access to original fragments for screening applications. Moreover these 9-aryl-6-chloropurine derivatives might be useful as intermediates for the preparation of purine derivatives with potential biological properties.

Analysis of ultrafast relaxation in photoexcited DNA base pairs of adenine and thymine

The photoinduced dynamics in base pairs of adenine and thymine were analyzed by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. On the short-time scale up to a few picoseconds, the characteristic time constants for the dimers are quite similar to the corresponding values of the monomers. This leads to the conclusion that ultrafast intramolecular relaxation proceeds via ππ^* and nπ^* states of one component within the dimer. On the long-time scale, we obtained a novel time constant of roughly 40 ps for the thymine dimer and the adenine–thymine base pair. This time constant was never observed in the monomers and is tentatively assigned to an intermolecular relaxation process, possibly via a hydrogen transfer state.     

Heptacopper(II) and dicopper(II)-adenine complexes: synthesis,structural characterization,and magnetic properties

The syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of two new copper(II) complexes with molecular formulas [Cu₇(μ₂-OH₂)₆(μ₃-O)₆(adenine)₆](NO₃)₂·6H₂O (1) and [Cu₂(μ₂-H₂O)₂(adenine)₂(H₂O)₄](NO₃)₄·2H₂O (2) are reported. The heptanuclear compound is composed of a central octahedral CuO₆ core sharing edges with six adjacent copper octahedra. In 2, the copper octahedra shares one equatorial edge. In both compounds, these basic copper cluster units are further linked by water bridges and bridging adenine ligands through N3 and N9 donors. All copper(II) centers exhibit Jahn–Teller distorted octahedral coordination characteristic of a d⁹ center. The study of the magnetic properties of the heptacopper complex revealed a dominant ferromagnetic intra-cluster interaction, while the dicopper complex exhibits antiferromagnetic intra-dimer interactions with weakly ferromagnetic inter-dimer interaction.
