英文摘要 | G-Quadrupex can be a promising candidate as molecular electronic device due to the ability of transferring hole. Extensive studies have reported that fast deprotonation of guanine radical cation (G(center dot+)) to form a neutral radical G(-H)(center dot) is the most important reaction in competition with hole transfer in DNA, hindering potential applications of DNA in molecular electronics. We thus carry out joint experimental and theoretical studies on deprotonation of G(center dot+) in human telomere G-quadruplex AG(3)(T(2)AG(3))(3) by using nanosecond laser flash photolysis and quantum chemical calculations. Upon 355 nm laser photolysis of Na2S2O8, instantaneously generated SO4 center dot- radical oxidizes G base in the G-quadruplex to G(center dot+). In the time-resolved absorption spectra that record the reaction of G-quadruplex with SO4 center dot- at different temperatures, the transient absorptions of G(N(2)-H)center dot featured by absorption band at 640 nm are observed. It turns out that the G-quadruplex deprotonation product is G(N(2)-H)center dot and the deprotonation site is thereby validated to be amino proton. To obtain the activation energy of the G(center dot+) deprotonation in G-quadruplex, the N(2)-H deprotonation rate constants at different temperatures varying from 280 to 300 K in steps 5 K are measured at a high G-quadruplex concentration, where the deprotonation has been proved to be the rate-limiting step in our previous work. Based upon Arrhenius equation, the deprotonation activation energy of G(center dot+) in G-quadruplex is determined to be 20.0 +/- 1.0 kJ/mol. Further, the potential energy profile for the G(center dot+) deprotonation in G-quadruplex is calculated at M062X/6-31G(d) level by carefully taking into account hydration environment of G(center dot+) in G-quadruplex. The calculated energy bather of 26.4 kJ/mol matches with the measured activation energy value, indicating the calculated potential energy profile can describe the deprotonation process of G(center dot+) in the G-quadruplex. These theoretical and experimental results provide valuable dynamics information and mechanistic insights for potential applications of DNA structures in electronic device. |
