Journal ArticleDOI
Site-specific DNA photocleavage by rhodium intercalators analyzed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
TL;DR: MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is seen to be particularly powerful in the analysis of DNA cleavage by site-specific molecules and yields direct information regarding products rather than simply the base pair site of cleavage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical probing of tDNAPhe with transition metal complexes: a structural comparison of RNA and DNA.
TL;DR: The present work underscores the utility of applying DNA analogs to studies of RNA structure and function, since the general folding characteristics of the two polymers are likely to be similar, and structural probing with shape-selective transition metal complexes offers a valuable companion to such experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
1H NMR studies of nickel(II) complexes bound to oligonucleotides: a novel technique for distinguishing the binding locations of metal complexes in DNA.
TL;DR: Even for DNA-binding complexes of low sequence-specificity, distinct variations in binding as a function of sequence are apparent, thanks to comparable changes for all metal complexes and sequences in broadening of the thymine methyl proton resonances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Back-Electron Transfer Suppresses the Periodic Length Dependence of DNA-Mediated Charge Transport across Adenine Tracts
TL;DR: The periodicity of DNA-mediated charge transport is controlled by engineering the extent of BET across the bridge, which is consistent with a model where multiples of four to five base pairs form an ideal CT-active length of a bridging adenine domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron transfer between metal complexes bound to DNA: variations in sequence, donor, and metal binding mode
TL;DR: In this article, photo-induced electron transfer (ET) reactions between photoexcited [M(phen)2dppz^(2+) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, dppz=dipyridophenazine, M=Ru or Os) and the electron acceptors Rh(phi)_2bpy^(3+) (phi=9, 10-phenanthrenequinone diimine, bpy=2,2′-bipyridine) and Ru(NH_3)_6+3+)
