摘要

Homo/hetero ring-expanded DNA analogs have been shown to be rationally modified DNA motifs with improvedphysical or biological properties. In this work, using density functional theory, the stability of these artificial DNA basepairs was examined with regard to three aspects associated with DNA damage, namely deprotonation, H-abstraction,and H-radical addition. The effect of size expansion on C8 activity was investigated because C8-oxidative guanine (G)is one of the most important products of DNA damage. Computational results indicate that the insertion of anaromatic spacer ring in G considerably decreases the electron density over the C8 site, leading to easier deprotonationor H-abstraction from the C8 site and more difficult ft-radical attack on the C8 site. However, the oppositephenomenon is observed if the spacer ring is antiaromatic, because of the increased electron density over the C8site. Moreover, these effects are more prominent the larger the aromaticity or antiaromaticity of the spacer ring.Further analyses, using natural bond orbitals (NBOs) and the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) index ofaromaticity, indicate that the changes of the electron distribution over the C8 site arise because the aromatic spacerring, involved in the conjugation structure, increases the electron delocalization from the electron-rich imidazole ringto the diatropic six-membered rings, while the antiaromatic spacer ring acts as an electron-donating group, not onlyinhibiting the above electron delocalization, but also slightly increasing the electron density over the C8 site. Theimproved stability of these size-expanded base pairs in different DNA-damaged environments may encourage theiruse in practical applications.
