Selective DNA strand scission with binuclear copper complexes: implications for an active Cu2-O2 species.

ABSTRACT: A homologous series of binuclear copper(II) complexes [Cu(II)(2)(Nn)(Y)(2)](2+) (1-3) (n = 3-5 and Y = (ClO(4))(-) or (NO(3))(-)) were studied to investigate the intermediate(s) responsible for selective DNA strand scission in the presence of MPA/O(2) (MPA = 3-mercaptopropanoic acid). While the N3 complex does not react, the N4 and N5 analogues show comparable activity with strand scission occurring at a single-strand/double-strand junction. Identical reactivity is also observed in the alternate presence of H(2)O(2). Spectroscopic and reactivity studies with [Cu(II)(2)(N4)(Y)(2)](2+) (2) and H(2)O(2) are consistent with DNA oxidation mediated by formation of a side-on peroxodicopper(II) (Cu(2)-O(2)) complex.

Electrocatalytic O2 reduction by covalently immobilized mononuclear copper(I) complexes: evidence for a binuclear Cu2O2 intermediate.

Project description:A Cu(I) complex of 3-ethynyl-phenanthroline covalently immobilized onto an azide-modified glassy carbon surface is an active electrocatalyst for the four-electron (4-e) reduction of O(2) to H(2)O. The rate of O(2) reduction is second-order in Cu coverage at moderate overpotential, suggesting that two Cu(I) species are necessary for efficient 4-e reduction of O(2). Mechanisms for O(2) reduction are proposed that are consistent with the observations for this covalently immobilized system and previously reported results for a similar physisorbed Cu(I) system.

Mechanism of O2 activation and substrate hydroxylation in noncoupled binuclear copper monooxygenases.

Project description:Peptidylglycine ?-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM) and dopamine ?-monooxygenase (D?M) are copper-dependent enzymes that are vital for neurotransmitter regulation and hormone biosynthesis. These enzymes feature a unique active site consisting of two spatially separated (by 11 Å in PHM) and magnetically noncoupled copper centers that enables 1e- activation of O2 for hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) of substrate C-H bonds and subsequent hydroxylation. Although the structures of the resting enzymes are known, details of the hydroxylation mechanism and timing of long-range electron transfer (ET) are not clear. This study presents density-functional calculations of the full reaction coordinate, which demonstrate: (i) the importance of the end-on coordination of superoxide to Cu for HAA along the triplet spin surface; (ii) substrate radical rebound to a CuII hydroperoxide favors the proximal, nonprotonated oxygen; and (iii) long-range ET can only occur at a late step with a large driving force, which serves to inhibit deleterious Fenton chemistry. The large inner-sphere reorganization energy at the ET site is used as a control mechanism to arrest premature ET and dictate the correct timing of ET.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Binuclear Copper(II)-dipyriamethyrin Complex: [Cu2(dipyriamethyrin)(μ2-1,1-acetato)2].

Project description:The reaction between dipyriamethyrin and copper(II) acetate [Cu(OAc)2] afforded what is, to our knowledge, the first transition metal-dipyriamethyrin complex. Molecular and electronic characterization of this binuclear Cu(II) complex via EPR, UV-vis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed marked differences between the present constructs and previously reported binuclear copper(II) hexaphyrin species. UV-vis titration analyses provided evidence for a homotropic positive allosteric effect, wherein the binuclear species is formed without significant intermediacy of a monomeric complex.

Binuclear copper(II) complexes discriminating epimeric glycosides and ?- and ?-glycosidic bonds in aqueous solution.

Project description:Two chiral binuclear copper(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized for the first time as efficient chemoselective catalysts for the hydrolysis of aryl glycosides and disaccharides in aqueous solution at near neutral pH. Under these conditions, discrimination of epimeric aryl ?-glycopyranosides was observed both by 29-fold different reaction rates and 3-fold different proficiency of the catalyst. Additionally, large differentiation of the nature of ?- and ?- glycosidic bond in aryl glycosides as model compounds is apparent, but also noted in selected disaccharides. The influence of the chirality of the complexes and the role of the configuration of the carbohydrate upon interaction with the catalyst is discussed in detail. Lastly, a putative mechanism for the metal complex-catalyzed hydrolysis is derived from the experimental evidence pointing at deprotonation of the hydroxyl group at C-2 as a pre-requisite for glycoside hydrolysis.

Valence-to-Core X-ray Emission Spectroscopy as a Probe of O-O Bond Activation in Cu2 O2 Complexes.

Project description:Valence-to-Core (VtC) X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) was used to directly detect the presence of an O-O bond in a complex comprising the [CuII 2 (?-?2 :?2 -O2 )]2+ core relative to its isomer with a cleaved O-O bond having a [CuIII 2 (?-O)2 ]2+ unit. The experimental studies are complemented by DFT calculations, which show that the unique VtC XES feature of the [CuII 2 (?-?2 :?2 -O2 )]2+ core corresponds to the copper stabilized in-plane 2p ? peroxo molecular orbital. These calculations illustrate the sensitivity of VtC XES for probing the extent of O-O bond activation in ?-?2 :?2 -O2 species and highlight the potential of this method for time-resolved studies of reaction mechanisms.

Mono- and Binuclear Copper(II) and Nickel(II) Complexes with the 3,6-Bis(picolylamino)-1,2,4,5-Tetrazine Ligand.

Project description:Four new compounds of formulas [Cu(hfac)2(L)] (1), [Ni(hfac)2(L)] (2), [{Cu(hfac)2}2(µ-L)]·2CH3OH (3) and [{Ni(hfac)2}2(µ-L)]·2CH3CN (4) [Hhfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone and L = 3,6-bis(picolylamino)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine] have been prepared and their structures determined by X-ray diffraction on single crystals. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural mononuclear complexes where the metal ions [copper(II) (1) and nickel(II) (2)] are six-coordinated in distorted octahedral MN2O4 surroundings which are built by two bidentate hfac ligands plus another bidentate L molecule. This last ligand coordinates to the metal ions through the nitrogen atoms of the picolylamine fragment. Compounds 3 and 4 are centrosymmetric homodinuclear compounds where two bidentate hfac units are the bidentate capping ligands at each metal center and a bis-bidentate L molecule acts as a bridge. The values of the intramolecular metal···metal separation are 7.97 (3) and 7.82 Å (4). Static (dc) magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out for polycrystalline samples 1-4 in the temperature range 1.9-300 K. Curie law behaviors were observed for 1 and 2, the downturn of χMT in the low temperature region for 2 being due to the zero-field splitting of the nickel(II) ion. Very weak [J = -0.247(2) cm-1] and relatively weak intramolecular antiferromagnetic interactions [J = -4.86(2) cm-1] occurred in 3 and 4, respectively (the spin Hamiltonian being defined as H = -JS1·S2). Simple symmetry considerations about the overlap between the magnetic orbitals across the extended bis-bidentate L bridge in 3 and 4 account for their magnetic properties.

Direct strand scission from a nucleobase radical in RNA.

Project description:RNA oxidation is important in the etiology of disease and as a tool for studying the structure and folding kinetics of this biopolymer. Nucleobase radicals are the major family of reactive intermediates produced in RNA exposed to diffusible species such as hydroxyl radical. The nucleobase radicals are believed to produce direct strand breaks by abstracting hydrogen atoms from their own and neighboring ribose rings. By independently generating the formal C5 hydrogen atom addition product of uridine in RNA, we provide the first chemical characterization of the pathway for direct strand scission from an RNA nucleobase radical. The process is more efficient under anaerobic conditions. The preference for strand scission in double-stranded RNA over single-stranded RNA suggests that this chemistry may be useful for analyzing the secondary structure of RNA in hydroxyl radical cleavage experiments if they are carried out under anaerobic conditions.

Rapid RNA strand scission following C2'-hydrogen atom abstraction.

Project description:C2'-Nucleotide radicals have been proposed as key intermediates in direct strand break formation in RNA exposed to ionizing radiation. Uridin-2'-yl radical (1) was independently generated in single- and double-stranded RNA via photolysis of a ketone precursor. Direct stand breaks result from heterolytic cleavage of the adjacent C3'-carbon-oxygen bond. Trapping of 1 by O2 or ?-mercaptoethanol (1 M) does not compete with strand scission, indicating that phosphate elimination is >10(6) s(-1). Uracil loss also does not compete with strand scission. When considered in conjunction with reports that nucleobase radicals produce 1, this chemistry explains why RNA is significantly more susceptible to strand scission by ionizing radiation (hydroxyl radical) than is DNA.

Nucleosome core particle-catalyzed strand scission at abasic sites.

Project description:The reactivity of apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites at different locations within nucleosome core particles was examined. AP sites are greatly destabilized in nucleosome core particles compared to free DNA. Their reactivity varied ~5-fold with respect to the location within the nucleosome core particles but followed a common mechanism involving formation of a Schiff base between histone proteins and the lesion. The identity of the histone protein(s) involved in the reaction and the reactivity of the corresponding DNA-protein cross-links varied with the location of the abasic site, indicating that while the relative rate constants for individual steps varied in a complex manner, the overall mechanism remained the same. The source of the accelerated reactivity was probed using nucleosomes containing AP89 and histone H3 and H4 variants. Mutating the five lysine residues in the amino tail region of histone H4 to arginines reduced the rate constant for disappearance almost 15-fold. Replacing histidine 18 with an alanine reduced AP reactivity more than 3-fold. AP89 in a nucleosome core particle composed of the H4 variant containing both sets of mutations reacted only <4-fold faster than it did in naked DNA. These experiments reveal that nucleosome-catalyzed reaction at AP89 is a general phenomenon and that the lysine rich histone tails, whose modification is integrally involved in epigenetics, are primarily responsible for this chemistry.

Electrochemical, spectroscopic, and (1)O2 sensitization characteristics of 10,10-dimethylbiladiene complexes of zinc and copper.

Project description:The synthesis, electrochemistry, and photophysical characterization of a 10,10-dimethylbiladiene tetrapyrrole bearing ancillary pentafluorophenyl groups at the 5- and 15-meso positions (DMBil1) is presented. This nonmacrocyclic tetrapyrrole platform is robust and can serve as an excellent ligand scaffold for Zn(2+) and Cu(2+) centers. X-ray diffraction studies conducted for DMBil1 along with the corresponding Zn[DMBil1] and Cu[DMBil1] complexes show that this ligand scaffold binds a single metal ion within the tetrapyrrole core. Additionally, electrochemical experiments revealed that all three of the aforementioned compounds display an interesting redox chemistry as the DMBil1 framework can be both oxidized and reduced by two electrons. Spectroscopic and photophysical experiments carried out for DMBil1, Zn[DMBil1], and Cu[DMBil1] provide a basic picture of the electronic properties of these platforms. All three biladiene derivatives strongly absorb light in the visible region and are weakly emissive. The ability of these compounds to sensitize the formation of (1)O2 at wavelengths longer than 500 nm was probed. Both the free base and Zn(2+) 10,10-dimethylbiladiene architectures show modest efficiencies for (1)O2 sensitization. The combination of structural, electrochemical, and photophysical data detailed herein provides a basis for the design of additional biladiene constructs for the activation of O2 and other small molecules.
