Spectroscopic characterization of i-motif forming c-myc derived sequences double-labeled with pyrene.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In current studies we use the oligonucleotides based on c-myc sequence: CCC CAC CCT CCC CAC CCT CCC C (cmyc22) and CCC CAC CCT CCC CAC CCT CCC CA (cmyc22A) functionalized by pyrene moieties at both termini. Results of the circular dichroism (CD), UV absorption melting experiments, and steady-state fluorescence measurements of pyrene-modified i-motifs as well as their unlabeled precursors are presented and discussed here. The pyrene labels have a remarkable influence on i-motif stability which was deduced from CD spectra and confirmed by UV melting experiments. Both probes emit fluorescence band of pyrene monomer with intensity decreasing upon pH lowering.
