In this review, based on the fluorescence quenching experiments, it was proposed that DNA might serve as a conductor. From the time-interval CD spectra, the different binding rates of Δ- and Λ-enantiomer to calf thymus DNA were observed. The factors influencing the DNA-binding of polypyridyl complexes, and the potential bio-functions of the complexes are also discussed.展开更多

The results show that complex [Ru(phen)2PMIP]2+ {phen=1,10-phenanthroline, PMIP=2-(4-methylphenyl)imidazo1,10-phenanthroline} interacts with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) in terms of a model for a single set of identical sites through intercalation. The results are in agreement with our previous observations from spectroscopic methods and viscosity measurements. In addition, the results further show that the driving force for DNA binding with the complex is mainly driven by the enthalpy changes, and the contribution from the entropy changes to this driving force is negligible.展开更多
A new dinuclear complex, [Ag（L）（CH3CN）]2（ClO4）2·2H2O（L=2,3-di-2-pyridylquinoxaline）, was prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.

The interaction of the complex with calf thymus DNA（CT-DNA） was investigated by absorption, fluorescence spectroscopies, and viscosity measurement. The results suggested that the complex was bound to DNA via an intercalative mode. The intrinsic binding constant value Kb was found to be approximately 1.48×10^3 L·mol^-1. Moreover, the Ag（I） complex could cleave the plasmid pUC19 DNA from the supercoiled Form Ⅰto the nicked FormⅡ under irradiation at 365 nm.展开更多

As an intercalator of DNA, the luminescent monometallic ruthenium?complex [Ru(bpy)2tpphz]2+could coordinate with Zn2+to form the nonluminescent heterobimetallic complex [Ru(bpy)2(tpphz)Zn]4+. The emission intensity of complex decreased as increasing the amounts of Zn2+and the luminescence was almost lost at the ratio of / of 1. After binding to DNA, the peripheral coordination site on the tpphz ligand remained accessible for Zn2+, the coordination occurred from the oppsite side of helix with respect to intercalated [Ru(bpy)2tpphz]2+and the nonluminescent heterobimetallic complex was formed. On the other hand, the [Ru(bpy)2(tpphz)Zn]4+also bound to DNA by intercalation and situated the region of the intercalated [Ru(bpy)2tpphz]2+between the base pairs of DNA. The complex looked like a molecular nut (the Zn2+) and bolt (the [Ru(bpy)2tpphz]2+).展开更多
