DNA-templated assembly of naphthalenediimide arrays

π-Stacked naphthalenediimide (NDI) arrays are of interest as charge-transport materials. We have designed and synthesized an NDI derivative with two Zn(II)-cyclens that act as receptors for the thymine base in DNA. UV/Vis and CD spectroscopy, gel filtration, and molecular-modeling studies have shown that the bis(Zn(II)-cyclen)-NDI can be assembled in the presence of oligo-dT to form π-stacked NDI arrays. The assembly of the NDI arrays was found to be dependent on the length of the oligo-dT and the temperature. The NDI-oligo-dT assembly on a gold substrate exhibits photocurrent responses due to electron transfer through the π-stacked array.     

Photo-triggered generation of a free thiol group on DNA: application to DNA conjugation

DNA oligomers possessing a 2-nitrobenzyl (NB) protected thiol group have been prepared. The photo-remove of the NB to generate a free thiol group in DNA has been analyzed by using reverse-phase HPLC and denaturing gel electrophoresis. The photo-triggered generation of the thiol function in DNA was applicable in the light-initiated ligation of thiol-modified DNA oligomers and Au–DNA conjugation.

Synthesis and properties of polyurethanes containing phosphatidylcholine analogues in the polymer backbone

New polyurethanes ( 4a, 4b ) and a segmented polyurethane ( 4c ) bearing phosphatidylcholine moieties in the main chain were synthesized. They are thermally stable up to 300°C and show the viscosity behaviour of common polyelectrolytes. Preliminary studies suggest that these polyurethanes are interesting new biomaterials.
