Intercalative and nonintercalative binding of large cationic porphyrin ligands to polynucleotides

Abstract: The interactions of two positional isomers and one analogue of meso-tetra (4-N-methylpyridyl) porphine, with the synthetic polynucleotides poly[d(A-T)] . poly[d(A-T)] and poly[d(G-C)] . poly[d(G-C)] have been investigated by circular dichroism. All four porphyrins were found to bind to the polynucleotides as shown by the induction of circular dichroism in their Soret bands. Furthermore, the sign of the induced ellipticity reflects selective occupation of binding sites by the porphyrin ligands. The conformation… Show more

“…The CD spectra presented in Figures 2(a) and (b) coincide with the above mentioned data [6,9,11,12,21,23]. The linear dependence of the negative band intensity at r < 0.05 and the linear dependence of positive band intensity on r in the range from 0.02 to 0.16 in case of TOEPyP4-DNA complex indicate the homogeneous binding modes, in particular intercalation between the GC base pairs and a moderate surface binding on DNA minor groove.…”

“…On the basis of some experimental data [6,[11][12][13][14]23], we propose the following explanation. TOEPyP4 that intercalates into the GC rich sites induces not only local damages, but also causes distortion of the standard B-form of DNA [6,23].…”

“…[3][4][5] For the binding, three major modes have been proposed: intercalation, outside binding in the groove, and outside binding with self-stacking along the DNA surface. 6) These binding modes have been suggested using the physicochemical method of viscometry 7,8) and spectroscopic techniques such as UV-visible absorption, [6][7][8] circular dichroism (CD), [6][7][8][9] fluorescence, 10,11) and NMR spectroscopy. 12,13) For the photonuclease activity, cationic TMPyP is more efficient in strand scission of plasmid DNA than an anionic porphyrin like hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD).…”

“…It has been established that the DNA-binding-mode preference of cationic porphyrins (e.g. the external binding versus intercalation) can be modulated not only by changes in the coordinated metal, but also by altcration in their periphery (Carvlin et al, 1983;Pasternack et al, 1983). Phthalocyanines closely resemble porphyrins in many of their phy sico-chemical, photophysical and photosensitizing properties.…”
