Differentiating quadruplexes: binding preferences of a luminescent dinuclear ruthenium(ii) complex with four-stranded DNA structures
Literature Information
Mike P. Williamson, Jim A Thomas
The interaction of luminescent dinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes containing the bridging ligand tetrapyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c:3′′,2′′-h:2′′,3′′-j]phenazine with several intramolecular and intermolecular quadruplex DNA structures has been explored. It was found that these interactions produced distinctly different luminescence signatures. Binding curves constructed from these optical changes reveal that binding affinities for the quadruplex structures vary by over two orders of magnitude. The differences in quadruplex binding affinity and optical signature are rationalized through a consideration of the structural features of the quadruplexes. In particular we conclude large blue shifted emission enhancements are only observed on binding to quadruplexes containing lateral loops that are at least three base pairs long.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
