Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The DNA binding orientation and dynamic behavior of Cu(II) complexes of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane ([9]aneN(3)), 1, and an acridine conjugate, 2, were investigated by DNA fiber EPR (EPR=electron paramagnetic resonance) spectroscopy. Crystal and molecular structure of 2 were determined by X-ray diffraction. It has been shown that 1 binds to DNA in two different modes at room temperature; one species is rapidly rotating and the other is immobilized randomly on the DNA. The introduction of acridine to [9]aneN(3) fixed the [Cu([9]aneN(3))](2+) moiety of 2 in two different environments on the DNA: the g(mid R:mid R:) axis of one species (g( parallel)=2.26) is aligned perpendicularly to the DNA fiber axis whereas that of the other (g( parallel)=2.24) aligns<90 degrees with the DNA fiber axis. The different DNA binding structures of 1 and 2 are reflected also in their different efficiencies of DNA cleavage; 2 was found to be more effective both in oxidative and hydrolytic cleavage reactions.
