Oxidation of purine nucleotides by Triplet 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid in aqueous solution: pH-dependence.

ABSTRACT: The photo-oxidation of purine nucleotides adenosine-5'-monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine-5'-monophosphate (GMP) by 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid (TCBP) has been investigated in aqueous solutions using nanosecond laser flash photolysis (LFP) and time-resolved chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP). The pH dependences of quenching rate constants and of geminate polarization are measured within a wide range of pH values. As a result, the chemical reactivity of reacting species in different protonation states is determined. In acidic solution (pH < 4.9), the quenching rate constant is close to the diffusion-controlled limit: kq = 1.3 × 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) (GMP), and kq = 1.2 × 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) (AMP), whereas in neutral and basic solutions it is significantly lower: kq = 2.6 × 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) (GMP, 4.9 < pH < 9.4), kq = 3.5 × 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) (GMP, pH > 9.4), kq = 1.0 × 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) (AMP, pH > 6.5). Surprisingly, the strong influence of the protonation state of the phosphoric group on the oxidation of adenosine-5'-monophosphate is revealed: the deprotonation of the AMP phosphoric group (6.5) decreases the quenching rate constant from 5.0 × 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) (4.9 < pH < 6.5) to 1.0 × 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) (pH > 6.5).

Kinetics of photoinduced electron transfer between DNA bases and triplet 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid in aqueous solution of different pH's: proton-coupled electron transfer?

Project description:The kinetics of triplet state quenching of 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid (BPTC) by DNA bases adenine, adenosine, thymine, and thymidine has been investigated in aqueous solution using time-resolved laser flash photolysis. The observation of the BPTC ketyl radical anion at λ(max) = 630 nm indicates that one electron transfer is involved in the quenching reactions. The pH-dependence of the quenching rate constants is measured in detail. As a result, the chemical reactivity of the reactants is assigned. The bimolecular rate constants of the quenching reactions between triplet BPTC and adenine, adenosine, thymine, and thymidine are k(q) = 2.3 × 10(9) (4.7 < pH < 9.9), k(q) = 4.0 × 10(9) (3.5 < pH < 4.7), k(q) = 1.0 × 10(9) (4.7 < pH < 9.9), and k(q) = 4.0 × 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) (4.7 < pH < 9.8), respectively. Moreover, it reveals that in strong basic medium (pH = 12.0) a keto-enol tautomerism of thymine inhibits its reaction with triplet BPTC. Such a behavior is not possible for thymidine because of its deoxyribose group. In addition, the pH-dependence of the apparent electrochemical standard potential of thymine in aqueous solution was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The ΔE/ΔpH ≈ -59 mV/pH result is characteristic of proton-coupled electron transfer. This behavior, together with the kinetic analysis, leads to the conclusion that the quenching reactions between triplet BPTC and thymine involve one proton-coupled electron transfer.

Reactivity of prehydrated electrons toward nucleobases and nucleotides in aqueous solution.

Project description:DNA damage induced via dissociative attachment by low-energy electrons (0 to 20 eV) is well studied in both gas and condensed phases. However, the reactivity of ultrashort-lived prehydrated electrons ([Formula: see text]) with DNA components in a biologically relevant environment has not been fully explored to date. The electron transfer processes of [Formula: see text] to the DNA nucleobases G, A, C, and T and to nucleosides/nucleotides were investigated by using 7-ps electron pulse radiolysis coupled with pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy in aqueous solutions. In contrast to previous results, obtained by using femtosecond laser pump-probe spectroscopy, we show that G and A cannot scavenge [Formula: see text] at concentrations of ?50 mM. Observation of a substantial decrease of the initial yield of hydrated electrons ([Formula: see text]) and formation of nucleobase/nucleotide anion radicals at increasing nucleobase/nucleotide concentrations present direct evidence for the earliest step in reductive DNA damage by ionizing radiation. Our results show that [Formula: see text] is more reactive with pyrimidine than purine nucleobases/nucleotides with a reactivity order of T > C > A > G. In addition, analyses of transient signals show that the signal due to formation of the resulting anion radical directly correlates with the loss of the initial [Formula: see text] signal. Therefore, our results do not agree with the previously proposed dissociation of transient negative ions in nucleobase/nucleotide solutions within the timescale of these experiments. Moreover, in a molecularly crowded medium (for example, in the presence of 6 M phosphate), the scavenging efficiency of [Formula: see text] by G is significantly enhanced. This finding implies that reductive DNA damage by ionizing radiation depends on the microenvironment around [Formula: see text].

pH-Dependence of the Aqueous Phase Room Temperature Bronsted Acid-Catalyzed Chemoselective Oxidation of Sulfides with H₂O₂.

Project description:A pH-dependence of the Brønsted acid-catalyzed oxidation of sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides with H₂O₂ is reported for the first time based on our systematic investigation of the catalytic performance of a series of Brønsted acids. For all of the Brønsted acids investigated, the catalytic performances do not depend on the catalyst loading (mol ratio of Brønsted acid to substrate), but rather depend on the pH value of the aqueous reaction solution. All of them can give more than 98% conversion and selectivity in their aqueous solution at pH 1.30, no matter how much the catalyst loading is and what the Brønsted acid is. This pH-dependence principle is a very novel perspective to understand the Brønsted-acid catalysis system compared with our common understanding of the subject.

Kinetics of the oxidation of thymine and thymidine by triplet 2,2'-dipyridyl in aqueous solutions at different pH values.

Project description:The photo-oxidation of the nucleobase, thymine (Thy), and nucleoside, thymidine (dThy), by dipyridyl (DP) has been investigated in aqueous solution using time-resolved laser flash photolysis. The pH dependence of the oxidation rate constants is measured within a large pH scale. As a consequence, the chemical reactivity of the reactants existing in solution at a certain range of pH is predicted. Bimolecular rate constants of the quenching reactions between triplet dipyridyl and thymine and thymidine are, respectively, kq = 2.4 × 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) (pH < 5.8) and kq = 1.0 × 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) (5.8 < pH < 9.8). Cyclic voltammetry was used to measure the potentials of thymine oxidation and dipyridyl reduction in water at pH < 7. Both results give hints for a proton coupled electron-transfer (PCET) reaction from thymine to triplet dipyridyl.

Photoactivation of trans diamine platinum complexes in aqueous solution and effect on reactivity towards nucleotides.

Project description:We show that UVA irradiation (365nm) of the Pt(IV) complex trans,trans,trans-[Pt(IV)Cl(2)(OH)(2)(dimethylamine)(isopropylamine)] (1), induces reduction to Pt(II) photoproducts. For the mixed amine Pt(II) complex, trans-[Pt(II)Cl(2)(isopropylamine)(methylamine)] (2), irradiation at 365nm increases the rate and extent of hydrolysis, triggering the formation of diaqua species. Additionally, irradiation increases the extent of reaction of complex 2 with guanosine-5'-monophosphate and affords mainly the bis-adduct, while reactions with adenosine-5'-monophosphate and cytidine-5'-monophosphate give rise only to mono-nucleotide adducts. Density Functional Theory calculations have been used to obtain insights into the electronic structure of complexes 1 and 2, and their photophysical and photochemical properties. UVA-irradiation can contribute to enhanced cytotoxic effects of diamine platinum drugs with trans geometry.

PH-Dependent Enantioselectivity of D-amino Acid Oxidase in Aqueous Solution.

Project description:D-amino acid oxidases (DAAO) are stereospecific enzymes which are generally almost inactive towards L-enantiomer in neutral solution when L-, D-amino acids are supplied as substrates. In this paper, the D-amino acid oxidase can catalytic oxidize L-amino acids by modulating pH of aqueous solution. With L-Pro as substrate, the catalytic rate (k cat) and the affinity (K m) of DAAO were 6.71?s-1 and 33?mM at pH 8.0, respectively, suggesting that optimal pH condition enhanced the activity of DAAO towards L-Pro. Similar results were obtained when L-Ala (pH 9.8), L-Arg (pH 6.5), L-Phe (pH 9.0), L-Thr (pH 9.4), and L-Val (pH 8.5) were catalyzed by DAAO at various pH values. The racemization of the L-amino acids was not found by capillary electrophoresis analysis during oxidation, and quantification analysis of L-amino acids before and after catalytic reaction was performed, which confirmed that the modulation of enantioselectivity of DAAO resulted from the oxidation of L-amino acids rather than D-amino acids by changing pH. A mechanistic model was proposed to explain enhanced activity of DAAO towards L-amino acids under optimal pH condition.
