摘要

A DNA system consisting of pyrene-modified oligonucleotides and nitrobenzoate (Nb)-modified DNA-binding tripeptides has been applied to study electron-transfer processes through the DNA-peptide interface.5-(Pyren-l-yl)-2'-deoxyuridine (Py-dU) has been used as the photoinducible charge generator.Upon excitation at 350 nm,a pyrene-like excited state (Py-dU) is formed which undergoes an electron transfer yielding the charge-separated state which is the contact ion pair Py~(centre dot+)-dU~(centre dot-).The subsequent electron shift from dU~(centre dot-) into the base stack competes with charge recombination and can be probed chemically by trapping the electron at the 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (Br-dU) group leading to strand cleavage which can be quantified by HPLC analysis.Several Nb-modified DNA-binding tripeptides influence these DNA-mediated electron-transfer processes as shown by fluorescence spectroscopy experiments.Fluorescence quenching can occur primarily through a reductive electron-transfer process in which the Nb group traps the electron thermodynamically from the contact ion pair Py~(centre dot+)-dU~(centre dot-).Moreover,our results indicate that,once the negative charge has been trapped on the peptide,oxidative processes from Py~(centre dot+) take place resulting in an enhanced and nonspecific strand degradation of the Py-dU-modified duplexes.The latter type of strand cleavage can be inhibited by the presence of tryptophane or tyrosine as part of the peptides.Most remarkably,DNA-binding tripeptides,which bear both the Nb and the tryptophan/tyrosine moiety,are able to trap both the negative and the positive charge from the contact ion pair Py~(centre dot+)-dU~(centre dot-).
