Abstract:
:When meso-tetrakis(3-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin (m-TMPyP) formed a complex with poly[d(A-T)(2)], an intense bisignate excitonic CD in the Soret absorption region was observed. The excitonic CD of the m-TMPyP-poly[d(A-T)(2)] complex is unique in that no other combination of the related porphyrin, namely, meso-tetrakis(n-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin (where n = 2, 4), and polynucleotide including calf thymus DNA, poly[d(G-C)(2)], poly[d(I-C)(2)], and poly(dA).poly(dT), exhibits a comparable CD spectrum. From the [drug]/[DNA] ratio-dependence of the intensity and the shape of the CD spectrum, this porphyrin species is assigned to an extensively aggregated form. The extensively aggregated porphyrin disperses in 1 h after mixing to form moderately stacked porphyrin at a low mixing ratio. The magnitude of linear dichroism of the extensively aggregated porphyrin was small and the sign was negative in the Soret band, which indicated that the molecular plane of porphyrin in the complex is strongly tilted. On the other hand, the molecular plane of porphyrin is almost parallel to the DNA base plane (perpendicular to the DNA helix axis) in the moderately stacked form.
