The electrooxidation of short synthetic 20-nucleotides DNA sequences with various amount of guanine molecules has been studied in a wide temperature range by square wave voltammetry and the results were compared with UV–vis and CD spectra. A twofold increase of dsDNA voltammetric peak, related to an increase in the number of electrons transfered in the guanine electrooxidation process was found to begin at a temperature lower by circa 20 °C compared to the well known increase of the dsDNA absorbance upon denaturation. Since the dsDNA voltammetric peaks are related directly to the electrooxidation of guanine and adenine, early conformational changes in dsDNA are responsible for this effect. An increase in percentage of guanine in the DNA chains caused a delay in the conformational, predenaturation changes. An exception to this behavior was found for polyguanine (100% guanine). Interestingly, two distinct ranges of change in ellipticity in the CD spectra correlate well with the changes obtained by voltammetry. We have also checked the influence of OH radicals and UV irradiation on the dsDNA oxidation.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
