Specific hydrolysis of DNA by Ce~(4+) -ODN hybrid

The cerium complex bound to the derivative of oligoDNA has been synthesized successfully that can hydrolyze DNA with sequence-specificity. The synthesized derivative of oligoDNA, 5'-EDTA-P-10 mers ODN, was demonstrated by HPLC. The fluorescence spectrum of Tb3+ was detected after its interaction with the hybrid of 10-mers ODN and 26-mers ODN and the results show that the artificial endo-enzyme can recognize and combine firmly with the substrate DNA. The electrophorogram shows that the cerium-oligoDNA hybrid can specifically hydrolyze its substrate DNA and the cleavage site of this hydrolysis reaction is also discussed. This artificial nuclease can be widely used in molecular biology and genetic engineering as one kind of endo-enzyme.

Oligodeoxynucleotide-modified capillary for electrophoretic separation of single-stranded DNAs with a single-base difference.

We describe here a method of affinity capillary electrophoresis in which oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) was immobilized onto the inner surface of the capillary. The immobilized ODN functioned successfully as an affinity ligand for sequence-based DNA separation. Six- or 12-mer ODN with a sequence complementary to one of the c-K-ras gene was used as an immobilized ligand. When the 12-mer ODN was used, the detection peak for the complementary ODN disappeared selectively, while the single-base mutant was detected as usual. In contrast, when the 6-mer ODN was used as the affinity ligand with a mixture of the complementary ODN and its single-base mutant, it was possible to detect both as completely separate peaks. That is, the separation mode was dependent on the base number of the immobilized ODN used as an affinity ligand.     

杂交及切断过程的QCM实时检测研究(英文)

采用自组装技术,将 5′端标记有巯基的 20-merODN(oligo 1)以金 硫键形式牢固结合在 7. 995MHz的AT-切石英晶体的镀金表面,然后由石英晶体微天平实时检测了与碱基序列互补的 10 merODN (oligo 2)和 8 merODN(oligo 3)的杂交,同时还研究了稀土金属铈离子在温和条件下对DNA的水解切断作用.结果表明:应用QCM方法可能实时检测DNA的固定和杂交,Ce(IV)能随机切断单链DNA;但不能切断杂交形成的双链DNA,因此可利用杂交保护的方法对单链DNA实行定位切断.     

Kinetics of phosphodiester cleavage by differently generated cerium(IV) hydroxo species in neutral solutions

Neutral aqueous solutions of cerium ammonium nitrate obtained by dilution of their acetonitrile stock solution with imidazole buffer show high catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) and better reproducibility than other similar systems, but suffer from low stability. The kinetics of catalytic hydrolysis is second-order in Ce(IV), independent of pH in the range 5-8 and tentatively involves the Ce2(OH)7+ species as the active form. Attempts to stabilize the active species by different types of added ligands failed, but the use of Ce(IV) complexes pre-synthesized in an organic solvent with potentially stabilizing ligands as precursors of active hydroxo species appeared to be more successful. Three new Ce(IV) complexes, [Ce(Phen)2O(NO3)2], [Ce(tris)O(NO3)(OH)] and [Ce(BTP)2(NO3)4].2H2O (BTP = bis-tris propane, 1,3-bis[tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamino]propane), were prepared by reacting cerium ammonium nitrate with the respective ligands in acetonitrile and were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Aqueous solutions of these complexes undergo rapid hydrolysis producing nearly neutral polynuclear Ce(IV) oxo/hydroxo species with high catalytic activity in BNPP hydrolysis. Potentiometric titrations of the solutions obtained from the complex with BTP revealed the formation of Ce4(OH)15+ species at pH > 7, which are protonated affording Ce4(OH)14(2+) and then Ce4(OH)13(3+) on a decrease in pH from 7 to 5. The catalytic activity increases strongly on going to species with a higher positive charge. The reaction mechanism involves first- and second-order in catalyst paths as well as intermediate complex formation with the substrate for higher charged species.

A Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) Study of Single-Strand DNA Hybridization and Hydrolytic Cleavage

The use of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) for monitoring in situ the immobilization of single-strand DNA marked with mercaptol group at the 5′-end on the surface of a gold-filled 7.995 MHz AT-cut quartz crystal by Au-S bond with the self-assembly technique is reported. The hybridization of ssDNA with complementary 10-mer ODN and 8-mer ODN is described. The QCM was also employed to analyze DNA cleavage by cerium(IV) ions under moderate conditions. The results showed that the QCM, which is capable of sensitive measurement, was able to investigate the immobilization, hybridization, and cleavage of ssDNA in situ. The cerium(IV) ions produced no cleavage in double-strand DNA; they were, however, able to hydrolyze single-strand DNA. Thus, the hydrolytic cleavage of ssDNA at a specific site could be ensured by protective hybridization.__________From Zhurnal Analiticheskoi Khimii, Vol. 60, No. 8, 2005, pp. 877–880.Original English Text Copyright © 2005 by Zhu, Gao, Shen, Yang, Yuan.The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Synthesis of N3- and 2-NH2-substituted 6,7-diphenylpterins and their use as intermediates for the preparation of oligonucleotide conjugates designed to target photooxidative damage on single-stranded DNA representing the bcr-abl chimeric gene

Two 17-mer oligodeoxynucleotide-5'-linked-(6,7-diphenylpterin) conjugates, 2 and 3, were prepared as photosensitisers for targeting photooxidative damage to a 34-mer DNA oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) fragment 1 representing the chimeric bcr-abl gene that is implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). The base sequence in the 17-mer was 3'G G T A G T T A T T C C T T C T T5'. In the first of these ODN conjugates (2) the pterin was attached at its N3 atom, via a -(CH2)3OPO(OH)- linker, to the 5'-OH group of the ODN. Conjugate 2 was prepared from 2-amino-3-(3-hydroxypropyl)-6,7-diphenyl-4(3H)-pteridinone 10, using phosphoramidite methodology. Starting material 10 was prepared from 5-amino-7-methylthiofurazano[3,4-d]pyrimidine 4 via an unusual highly resonance stabilised cation 8, incorporating the rare 2H,6H-pyrimido[6,1-b][1,3]oxazine ring system. In the characterisation of 10 two pteridine phosphazenes, 15 and 29, were obtained, as well as new products containing two uncommon tricyclic ring systems, namely pyrimido[2,1-b]pteridine (20 and 24) and pyrimido[1,2-c]pteridine (27). In the second ODN conjugate the linker was -(CH2)5CONH(CH2)6OPO(OH)- and was attached to the 2-amino group of the pterin. In the preparation of 3, the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester 37 of 2-(5-carboxypentylamino)-6,7-diphenyl-4(3H)-pteridinone was condensed with the hexylamino-modified 17-mer. Excitation of 36 with near UV light in the presence of the single-stranded target 34-mer, 5'T G A C C A T C A A T A A G14 G A A G18 A A G21 C C C T T C A G C G G C C3' 1 caused oxidative damage at guanine bases, leading to alkali-labile sites which were monitored by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Cleavage was observed at all guanine sites with a marked preference for cleavage at G14. In contrast, excitation of ODN-pteridine conjugate 2 in the presence of 1 caused oxidation of the latter predominantly at G18, with a smaller extent of cleavage at G15 and G14 (in the double-stranded portion) and G21. These results contrast with our previous observation of specific cleavage at G21 with ruthenium polypyridyl sensitisers, and suggest that a different mechanism, probably one involving Type 1 photochemical electron transfer, is operative. Much lower yields were found with the ODN-pteridine conjugate 3, perhaps as a consequence of the longer linker between the ODN and the pteridine in this case.

Energy transfer characteristics of the hydrogen peroxide induced Ce3+-Ce4+ mixture

Luminescence of Ce3+ in the hydrogen peroxide induced sulfuric acid solutions was observed to be quenched by Ce4+ ions in the solution by energy transfer due to electric dipole interaction between Ce3+ and Ce4+. A systematic investigation of the energy transfer characteristics of Ce3+-Ce4+ mixture has been made by measuring the absorption, luminescence and excitation spectra at room temperature. The effect of the concentration of Ce3+ on the energy transfer process has been also studied and the critical transfer distance (Ro) has been calculated considering F?rster type interaction between the ions and found to be 8.7 A for the mixture of 1 x 10(-4) mol 1(-1) Ce3+ and 3 x 10(-4) mol l(-1) Ce4+.     

Ce~(4+)/Ce~(3+)氧化还原体系线性极化与交流阻抗研究

用线性极化法和交流阻抗法研究了新型Ce~(4+)/Ce~(3+)-V~(2+)/V~(3+)氧化 还原电池中Ce~(4+)/Ce~(3+)半电池在不同Ce~(4+)浓度下的电化学行为。得出Ce~ (4+)浓度为0.2 mol/L时,其极化电阻最小,似为理论最佳浓度。实际应用需综合 考虑电池的库仓效率和能量效率等因素,还应尽可能选择较高浓度。测得不同浓度 下的阻抗参数表明,在Ce(SO_4)_2体系处于稳态时,不论是慢扫还是使用低的动频 率,Ce~(4+)的反应都为传质控制;而在体系处于暂态时,则不论是快扫还是使用 高扰动频率,都为传荷控制;而当体系介于稳态和暂态之间时,则为传质和传荷的 混合控制。因而可通过提高传质速率和加入电化学催化剂的方法来提高Ce~(4+) /Ce~(3+)体系的反应速率。     

The hydrolysis of the cerium(III) ion,Ce3+, in aqueous perchlorate solutions at 50°C

The hydrolysis equilibria of the Ce³⁺ ion have been studied at 50°C by measuring, with a glass electrode, the hydrogen ion concentration of Ce(ClO₄)₃ solutions. The Ce(III) concentration ranged from 0.1 to 1 m, while the ClO⁻₄ level was kept constant at 3 m by adding LiClO₄. Solutions containing hydrolysed species, in which at the most 0.4% of the Ce³⁺ can be transformed into reaction products without the formation of a precipitate, were prepared by constant-current coulometry. The potentiometric data have been explained in terms of Ce(OH)²⁺, Ce₂(OH)⁵⁺ and Ce₃(OH)⁴⁺₅ complexes. Their formation constants in the inert 3 m LiClO₄ medium are reported.     

Synthesis and hybridization properties of oligonucleotides containing polyamines at the C-2 position of purines: a pre-synthetic approach for the incorporation of spermine into oligodeoxynucleotides containing 2-(4,9,13-triazatridecyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine

We have developed a synthesis of spermine-containing oligonucleotides (ODN-sper) which allows incorporation of multiple polyamine residues. This approach was based on the pertrifluoroacetylated 5'DMT-dGsper phosphoramidite synthon. Its coupling yield with resin-bound ODN decreased dramatically when close to the 3'-end. Optimization of the coupling conditions allowed 22-mer ODNs containing up to six spermine residues to be synthesized. Several ODNs of different sequences with 1-4 pendent spermines could be purified and their hybridization properties were evaluated. Duplex melting temperatures increased linearly with the number of polyamine residues (deltaTm/sper = 3.0 +/- 0.2 degrees C in 100mM NaCl). This compares very favorably with values reported for duplexes of similar initial stability containing other cation-substituted bases. Moreover, the stability increase was neither sequence nor position-dependent, and even contiguous spermine residues did not cross-talk. Extrapolation based on these findings leads to the conclusion that a duplex formed with a 22-mer oligonucleotide containing seven spermine residues would be as stable as genomic DNA, which highlights its potential for DNA strand invasion.     

Li2SrSiO4:Ce3+,Tb3+荧光粉的发光特性及Ce3+→Tb3+的能量传递

用固相反应法合成了具有单相的Li2EuSiO4结构的Li2Sr1-x-ySiO4:xCe3+,yTb3+系列样品。荧光光谱研究表明,Li2SrSiO4:Ce3+发射很强的蓝光,最强的激发峰位于360 nm;而Li2SrSiO4:Tb3+发射很强的绿光,最强的激发激发峰位于243 nm,但在350～410 nm的激发非常微弱。在Ce3+,Tb3+共掺杂的样品Li2Sr0.99-ySiO4:0.01Ce3+,yTb3+中,观察到Ce3+对Tb3+的共振能量传递。由于Ce3+对Tb3+能量传递,Tb3+的激发光谱中出现360 nm附近的宽激发峰。控制Tb3+/Ce3+掺杂浓度比可以实现绿蓝双基色的调制。这种双基色的荧光粉有望在紫外激发的白光LED中获得应用。

Microanalysis of oligodeoxynucleotides by cathodic stripping voltammetry at amalgam-alloy surfaces in the presence of copper ions

The application of gold amalgam-alloy electrode (AuAE) for a sensitive voltammetric detection of different oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing the purine units within the ODN-chains in the presence of copper is described. The detection of ODNs is based on the following procedure: (i) the first step includes an acidic hydrolysis of the ODN (ahODN) samples performing the release of the purine bases from ODN-chain; (ii) the second step includes an electrochemical accumulation of the complex of the purine base residues released from ODN-chain with copper ions Cu(I) (ahODN-Cu(I) complex) at the potential of reduction of copper ions Cu(II) on the amalgam-alloy electrode surfaces; (iii) finally followed the cathodic stripping of the electrochemically accumulated ahODN-Cu(I) complex from the electrode surface. The proposed electrochemical method was used for: (a) detection of different ODN lengths containing only adenine units (the number of adenine units within the ODN-chains was changed from 10 to 80), and (b) determination of the number of purine units within the 30-mer ODNs containing a random sequence segments involving both the purine and pyrimidine units. The intensity of the cathodic stripping current density peak (j_CSP) of the electrochemically accumulated ahODN-Cu(I) complex increased linearly with the increasing number of purine units within the ODN-chains. We observed a good correlation between the percentage content of purine units to the whole length of different 30-mer ODNs and the percentage content of the intensity of the j_CSP of the electrochemically accumulated 30-mer ahODN-Cu(I) complexes. The detection of acid hydrolysed 80-mer (A₈₀) in the bulk solution and in a 20-μl volume is possible down to 200 pM and 2 nM at the AuAE, respectively. For the shortest 10-mer (A₁₀) a detectable value of 5 nM in the bulk solution on the AuAE was observed. The sensitive detection of different ODNs containing the purine units in their chains in the presence of copper can be also performed at the platinum amalgam-alloy (PtAE) and copper amalgam-alloy (CuAE) contrary to a lower sensitivity at the silver amalgam-alloy (AgAE) electrode.

掺杂Ce的TiO_2纳米粒子的光致光及其光催化活性

采用sol-gel法制备了纯的和掺杂不同量Ce的TiO_2纳米粒子，并利用XRD， TEM，BET，XPS和PL光谱对样品进行表征，主要考察焙烧温度和含量对掺杂Ce的 TiO_2纳米粒子性质以及光催化降解苯酚活性的影响，并探讨了Ce的掺杂对TiO_2相 变的作用机制以及PL光谱与光催化活性的关系，结果表明，掺杂的Ce~(4+)没有进 入到TiO_2晶格中，而是以小团簇的CeO_2化学态均匀地弥散在TiO_2纳米粒子中， 这可能导致了Ce的掺杂对TiO_2的相变有很大的抑制作用；Ce的掺杂没有引起新的 光致发光现象，而适量Ce的掺杂能够降低TiO_2纳米粒子PL光谱的强度，这是因为 掺杂的Ce~(4+)易于捕获光生电子而生成Ce~(3+);600℃处理的掺杂Ce的TiO_2纳米 粒子表现出较高的光催化活性，这说明600℃是比较合适的焙烧温度，而掺杂不同 量的Ce的TiO_2样品的光催化活性顺序是：3 mol%＞4 mol%＞2 mol%＞5 mol%＞1 mol%＞0 mol%，这与它们的PL光谱强度的顺序是相反的，即PL光谱强度越低，其 光催化活性越高，这说明PL光谱与其光催化活性间有着必然的联系，这是因为掺杂 剂Ce~(4+)能够捕获光生电子，在光致发光过程中使PL光谱强度下降，而在光催化 反应过程中使有机污染物加快氧化。
