Inducement and stabilization of G-quadruplex DNA by a thiophene-containing dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex

G-quadruplex structures are attractive targets for the development of anticancer drugs, as their formation in human telomere could impair telomerase activity, thus inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. In this work, a thiophene-containing dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex, [Ru₂(bpy)₄(H₂bipt)]⁴⁺ {bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, H₂bipt = 2,5-bis[1,10]phenanthrolin[4,5-f]-(imidazol-2-yl)thiophene}, was prepared and the interaction between the complex and human telomeric DNA oligomers 5′-G₃(T₂AG₃)₃-3′ (HTG21) has been investigated by UV-Vis, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) melting assay, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) stop assay, fluorescent intercalator displacement (FID) titrations, Job plot and color reaction studies. The results indicate that the complex can well induce and stabilize the formation of antiparallel G-quadruplex of telomeric DNA in the presence or absence of metal cations, and the ΔT_m value of the G-quadruplex DNA treated with the complex was obtained to be 12.8 °C even at levels of 50-fold molar of duplex DNA (calf-thymus DNA), suggesting that the complex exhibits higher G-quadruplex DNA selectivity over duplex DNA. The complex shows high interaction ability with G-quadruplex DNA at (1.17 ± 0.12) × 10⁷ M^?1 binding affinity using a 2:1 [complex]/[quadruplex] binding mode ratio. A novel visual method has been developed here for making a distinction between G-quadruplex DNA and duplex DNA by our ruthenium complex binding hemin to form the hemin-G-quadruplex DNAzyme.

Triggering of high voltage discharge by femtosecond laser filaments on different wavelengths

The triggering and guiding of high voltage discharge by plasma filaments generated by 400 nm and 800 nm femtosecond laser were studied experimentally. The detailed diagnostics for characteristics of filaments, such as amount of free electrons, diameter and electron density, were performed using sonographic method, fluorescence imaging and resistivity measurement. A significant reduction of the breakdown voltage threshold due to the pre-ionization of the air gap by laser pulse filaments was observed. It is shown that the 400 nm laser pulses demonstrated stronger triggering ability than 800 nm laser pulse under same pulse energy. This behavior of 400 nm femtosecond pulse is connected to the rich population of highly excited particles in filaments.
