Abstract
We report a crystal structure at atomic resolution (0.9 Å) of a ruthenium complex bound to a consecutive DNA double mismatch, which results in a TA basepair with flipped out thymine, together with the formation of an adenine bulge. The structure shows a form of metalloinsertion interaction of the Λ-[Ru(phen)2phi]2+ (phi = 9,10-phenanthrenediimine) complex at the bulge site. The metal complex interacts with the DNA via the major groove, where specific interactions between the adenines of the DNA and the phen ligands of the complex are formed. One Δ-[Ru(phen)2phi]2+ complex interacts via the minor groove, which shows sandwiching of its phi ligand between the phi ligands of the other two ruthenium complexes, and no interaction of its phen ligands with DNA. To our knowledge, this binding model represents a new form of metalloinsertion in showing major rather than minor groove insertion.

Abstract
Apurinic and apyrimidinic sites, also referred to as abasic or AP sites, are residues of duplex DNA in which one DNA base is removed from a Watson-Crick base pair. They are formed during the enzymatic repair of DNA and offer binding sites for a variety of guest molecules. Specifically, the AP site may bind an appropriate ligand as a substitute for the missing nucleic base, thus stabilizing the abasic site-containing DNA (AP-DNA). Notably, ligands that bind selectively to abasic sites may be employed for analytical and therapeutical purposes. As a result, there is a search for structural features that establish a strong and selective association of a given ligand with the abasic position in DNA. Against this background, this review provides an overview of the different classes of ligands for abasic site-containing DNA (AP-DNA). This review covers covalently binding substrates, namely amine and oxyamine derivatives, as well as ligands that bind to AP-DNA by noncovalent association, as represented by small heterocyclic aromatic compounds, metal-organic complexes, macrocyclic cyclophanes, and intercalator-nucleobase conjugates. As the systematic development of fluorescent probes for AP-DNA has been somewhat neglected so far, this review article contains a survey of the available reports on the fluorimetric response of the ligand upon binding to the AP-DNA. Based on these data, this compilation shall present a perspective for future developments of fluorescent probes for AP-DNA.

Abstract
Mutagenic agents such as aromatic amines undergo metabolic activation and produce DNA adducts at C8 position of guanine bases. N-2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) generates different mutational outcomes when placed at G1, G2, and G3 of a NarI sequence (-G1G2CG3CC/T-). These outcomes are dictated by the conformations adopted by these adducts. Detection of such lesions is of considerable interest owing to their hazardous effects. Here, we report the synthesis of three cyclometalated [Ir(L)2dppz]+ complexes (L = 2-phenylpyridine (ppy) 1; benzo[h]quinoline (bhq) 2; 2-phenylquinoline (pq) 3; dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) and their interaction with AAF adducted NarI DNA. Remarkably, complexes 1 and 2 displayed dominant 3LC transition characteristic of polar environment despite binding to the adducted sites. On the other hand, complex 3 binds to NarI sequences and behaves as a luminescent reporter for AAF-modified DNA. The results reported here emphasize that molecular light switching phenomenon can be stimulated by switching ancillary ligands and might act as potential probes for covalent-DNA defects.

Abstract
Guanine is the most strongly oxidized base in DNA; generation of a guanine radical cation as an intermediate in an oxidation reaction leads to migration through a resulting cationic hole in the DNA π-stack until it is trapped by irreversible reaction with water or other free radicals. In the case of normal sequences, the primary position of Guanine oxidations by one-electron oxidants such as carbonate radical anions, BPT(7,8,9,10-tetrahydroxytetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene), and riboflavin are 5'-G in GG doublets and the central G in a GGG triplet. According to results, the properties of guanine oxidation on abasic site containing sequences are independent from the position of AP(apurinic/apyrimidinic) site in the presence of carbonate radical anions under a short irradiation time, although this radical is exposed to solvent by the existence of an abasic site. The lack of abasic site effect on guanine oxidative damage by the carbonate radical may be due to a sequence-independent property of the initial electron transfer rate in the hole injection step, or may relate to an electron transfer mechanism with large reorganization energy dependency. Consequently, the carbonate radical anions may easily migrate to another single G in the charge re-distribution step. Meanwhile, there is a strong dependency on the presence of an AP(apurinic/apyrimidinic) site in the cleavage patterns of guanine oxidations by physically large oxidizing agents, such as BPT(7,8,9,10-tetrahydroxytetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene) and riboflavin. These radicals show strong AP(apurinic/apyrimidinic) site dependency and clear G-site selectivity.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
By using all atom molecular dynamics simulations, we studied the behavior of human DNA telomere sequences in guanine quadruplex (G4) conformation and in the presence of oxidative lesions, namely abasic sites. In particular, we evidenced that while removing one guanine base induces a significant alteration and destabilization of the involved leaflet, human telomere oligomers tend, in most cases, to maintain at least a partial quadruplex structure, eventually by replacing the empty site with undamaged guanines of different leaflets. This study shows that (i) the disruption of the quadruplex leaflets induces the release of at least one of the potassium cations embedded in the quadruplex channel and that (ii) the electrostatic interactions of the DNA sequence with the aforementioned cations are fundamental to the maintenance of the global quadruplex structure.

Abstract
Defects in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) are commonly found in various cancers, especially in colorectal cancers. Despite the high prevalence of MMR-deficient cancers, mismatch-targeted therapeutics are limited and diagnostic tools are indirect. Here, we examine the cytotoxic properties of a rhodium metalloinsertor, [Rh(phen)(chrysi)(PPO)]2+ (RhPPO) in 27 diverse colorectal cancer cell lines. Despite the low frequency of genomic mismatches and the non-covalent nature of the RhPPO-DNA lesion, RhPPO is on average five times more potent than cisplatin. Importantly, the biological target and profile for RhPPO differs from that of cisplatin. A fluorescent metalloinsertor, RhCy3, was used to demonstrate that the cellular target of RhPPO is the DNA mismatch. RhCy3 represents a direct probe for MMR-deficiency and correlates directly with the cytotoxicity of RhPPO across different cell lines. Overall, our studies clearly indicate that RhPPO and RhCy3 are promising anticancer and diagnostic probes for MMR-deficient cancers, respectively.

Abstract
We report a bifunctional fluorescent probe that combines a rhodium metalloinsertor with a cyanine dye as the fluorescent reporter. The conjugate shows weak luminescence when free in solution or with well matched DNA but exhibits a significant luminescence increase in the presence of a 27-mer DNA duplex containing a central CC mismatch. DNA photocleavage experiments demonstrate that, upon photoactivation, the conjugate cleaves the DNA backbone specifically near the mismatch site on a 27-mer fragment, consistent with mismatch targeting. Fluorescence titrations with the 27-mer duplex containing the CC mismatch reveal a DNA binding affinity of 3.1 × 106 M-1, similar to that of other rhodium metalloinsertors. Fluorescence titrations using genomic DNA extracted from various cell lines demonstrate a clear discrimination in fluorescence between those cell lines that are proficient or deficient in mismatch repair. This differential luminescence reflects the sensitive detection of the mismatchrepair-deficient phenotype.

Abstract
![]()
[Ru(bpy)2(BNIQ)]2+ (BNIQ = Benzo[c][1,7]naphthyridine-1-isoquinoline), which incorporates the sterically expansive BNIQ ligand, is a
highly selective luminescent probe for DNA mismatches and abasic sites,
possessing a 500-fold higher binding affinity toward these destabilized
regions relative to well-matched base pairs. As a result of this higher
binding affinity, the complex exhibits an enhanced steady-state emission
in the presence of DNA duplexes containing a single base mismatch
or abasic site compared to fully well-matched DNA. Luminescence quenching
experiments with Cu(phen)22+ and [Fe(CN)6]3– implicate binding of the complex to
a mismatch from the minor groove via metalloinsertion. The emission
response of the complex to different single base mismatches, binding
preferentially to the more destabilized mismatches, is also consistent
with binding by metalloinsertion. This work shows that high selectivity
toward destabilized regions in duplex DNA can be achieved through
the rational design of a complex with a sterically expansive aromatic
ligand. The luminescent complex [Ru(bpy)2(BNIQ)]2+ selectivity targets mismatched and abasic sites in duplex
DNA and exhibits an enhanced emission intensity in the presence of
these defect sites relative to well-matched base pairs.

Abstract
The synthesis and properties of 2,7-diamino-1,4,8-triazanaphthalene (azaDANP) are described. AzaDANP is protonated only at a weakly acidic pH to bind to the cytosine bulge DNA duplex selectively. Upon binding of azaDANP to the cytosine bulge DNA, a new absorption band at 407 nm appears, and the absorption change of azaDANP on binding to the target is very sensitive to environmental pH with a bell-shaped pH-absorption profile.

Abstract
Clustered apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP; abasic) DNA lesions produced by ionizing radiation are by far more cytotoxic than isolated AP lesion entities. The structure and dynamics of a series of seven 23-bp oligonucleotides featuring simple bistranded clustered damage sites, comprising of two AP sites, zero, one, three or five bases 3′ or 5′ apart from each other, were investigated through 400 ns explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations. They provide representative structures of synthetically engineered multiply damage sites-containing oligonucleotides whose repair was investigated experimentally (Nucl. Acids Res. 2004, 32:5609-5620; Nucl. Acids Res. 2002, 30: 2800–2808). The inspection of extrahelical positioning of the AP sites, bulge and non Watson–Crick hydrogen bonding corroborates the experimental measurements of repair efficiencies by bacterial or human AP endonucleases Nfo and APE1, respectively. This study provides unprecedented knowledge into the structure and dynamics of clustered abasic DNA lesions, notably rationalizing the non-symmetry with respect to 3′ to 5′ position. In addition, it provides strong mechanistic insights and basis for future studies on the effects of clustered DNA damage on the recognition and processing of these lesions by bacterial or human DNA repair enzymes specialized in the processing of such lesions.

Abstract
A series of novel hydrazino-based peptidomimetics and analogues comprising N-terminal lysine and C-terminal phenanthridinyl-l-alanine were prepared. The presented results demonstrate the up to now unknown possibility to finely modulate peptide interactions with DNA/RNA by α-hydrazino group insertion and how the different positioning of two α-hydrazino groups in peptides controls binding to various double stranded and single stranded DNA and RNA. All peptidomimetics bind with 1-10 micromolar affinity to ds-DNA/RNA, whereby the binding mode is a combination of electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic interactions within DNA/RNA grooves. Insertion of the α-hydrazino group into the peptide systematically decreased its fluorimetric response to DNA/RNA binding in the order: mono-hydrazino < alternating-hydrazino < sequential-hydrazino group. Binding studies of ss-polynucleotides suggest intercalation of phenanthridine between polynucleotide bases, whereby affinity and fluorimetric response decrease with the number of α-hydrazino groups in the peptide sequence. Particularly interesting was the interaction of two sequential α-hydrazino acids-peptidomimetic with poly rG, characterised by a specific strong increase of CD bands, while all other peptide/ssRNA combinations gave only a CD-band decrease. All mentioned interactions could also be reversibly controlled by adjusting the pH, due to the protonation of the fluorophore.

Abstract
[Ru(Me4phen)2dppz](2+) serves as a luminescent "light switch" for single base mismatches in DNA. The preferential luminescence enhancement observed with mismatches results from two factors: (i) the complex possesses a 26-fold higher binding affinity toward the mismatch compared to well-matched base pairs, and (ii) the excited state emission lifetime of the ruthenium bound to the DNA mismatch is 160 ns versus 35 ns when bound to a matched site. Results indicate that the complex binds to the mismatch through a metalloinsertion binding mode. Cu(phen)2(2+) quenching experiments show that the complex binds to the mismatch from the minor groove, characteristic of metalloinsertion. Additionally, the luminescence intensity of the complex with DNA containing single base mismatches correlates with the thermodynamic destabilization of the mismatch, also consistent with binding through metalloinsertion. This complex represents a potentially new early cancer diagnostic for detecting deficiencies in mismatch repair.

Abstract
The formation of supramolecular assemblies between [Pt(bzimpy-Et){C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CC6H4(CH2NMe3-4)}]Cl2 (1) and mPPE-Ala and the FRET properties of the ensemble have been revealed from the UV-vis absorption, steady-state emission and time-resolved emission decay studies. The two-component mPPE-Ala-1 ensemble has been employed in a "proof-of-principle" concept for label-free detection of G-quadruplex DNAs with the intramolecular propeller parallel folding topology, such as c-myc, in aqueous buffer solution. By the modulation of the aggregation/deaggregation of the polymer-metal complex aggregates and hence the FRET from the mPPE-Ala donor to the aggregated 1 as acceptor, the ensemble has been demonstrated for sensitive and selective label-free detection of c-myc via the monitoring of emission spectral changes of the ensemble. Ratiometric emission of the ensemble at 461 and 662 nm has been shown to distinguish the intramolecular propeller parallel G-quadruplex folding topology of c-myc from other G-quadruplex-forming sequences of different folding topologies, owing to the strong and specific interactions between c-myc and 1 as suggested by the UV-vis absorption and UV melting studies. In addition, the formation of high-order intermolecular multimeric G-quadruplexes from c-myc under molecular crowding conditions has been successfully probed by the ratiometric emission of the ensemble. The conformational and topological transition of human telomeric DNA from the mixed-hybrid form to the intramolecular propeller parallel form, as observed from the circular dichroism spectroscopy, has also been monitored by the ratiometric emission of the ensemble. The ability of the ensemble to detect these conformational and topological transitions of G-quadruplex DNAs has been rationalized by the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of the ensemble towards the intramolecular propeller parallel G-quadruplex DNAs and their high-order intermolecular multimers, which are due to the extra stabilization gained from Pt···Pt and π-π interactions in addition to the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions found in the polymer-metal complex aggregates.

Abstract
The binding of the anti-cancer drug pixantrone to three oligonucleotide sequences, d(TCATATGA)2, d(CCGAGAATTCCGG)2 {double bulge = DB} and the non-self complementary d(TACGATGAGTA) : d(TACCATCGTA) {single bulge = SB}, has been studied by NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling. The upfield shifts observed for the aromatic resonances of pixantrone upon addition of the drug to each oligonucleotide confirmed the drug bound by intercalation. For the duplex sequence d(TCATATGA)2, NOEs were observed from the pixantrone aromatic H7/8 and aliphatic Ha/Hb protons to the H6/H8 and H1' protons of the C2, A3, T6 and G7 nucleotides, demonstrating that pixantrone preferentially binds at the symmetric CpA sites. However, weaker NOEs observed to various protons from the T4 and A5 residues indicated alternative minor binding sites. NOEs from the H7/H8 and Ha/Hb protons to both major (H6/H8) and minor groove (H1') protons indicated approximately equal proportions of intercalation was from the major and minor groove at the CpA sites. Intermolecular NOEs were observed between the H7/H8 and H4 protons of pixantrone and the A4H1' and G3H1' protons of the oligonucleotide that contains two symmetrically related bulge sites (DB), indicative of binding at the adenine bulge sites. For the oligonucleotide that only contains a single bulge site (SB), NOEs were observed from pixantrone protons to the SB G7H1', A8H1' and G9H1' protons, confirming that the drug bound selectively at the adenine bulge site. A molecular model of pixantrone-bound SB could be constructed with the drug bound from the minor groove at the A8pG9 site that was consistent with the observed NMR data. The results demonstrate that pixantrone preferentially intercalates at adenine bulge sites, compared to duplex DNA, and predominantly from the minor groove.

Abstract
Six Zn(II) complexes of derivatives of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) were studied for binding to DNA sequences containing non-canonical thymines, including a hairpin with a single thymine bulge (T-bulge) and a G-quadruplex (H-telo) containing thymine loops. The cyclen-based macrocycles contained pendents with either two fused rings to give planar groups including quinolinone (QMC), coumarin (MCC) and quinoline (CQC) derivatives or a non-planar dansyl group (DSC). Macrocyclic complexes with three fused rings including an anthraquinone pendent (ATQ) were also studied. All Zn(II) complexes were stable in solution at micromolar concentrations and neutral pH with the Zn(L)(OH2) species prevailing for L = QMC and CQC at pH 7.5 and 100 mM NaCl. Immobilized T-bulge or H-telo G-quadruplex was used to study binding of the complexes by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for several of the complexes. For the most part, data matched well with that obtained by isothermal calorimetry (ITC) and, for fluorescent complexes, by fluorescence titrations. Data showed that Zn(II) complexes containing planar aromatic pendents with two fused rings bound to T-bulge more tightly than complexes with non-planar pendents such as DSC. The H-telo DNA exhibited multiple binding sites for all complexes containing aromatic pendents. The complexes with two fused rings bound with low micromolar dissociation constants and two binding sites whereas a complex with three fused rings (ATQ) bound to three sites. This study shows that different pendent groups on Zn(II) cyclen complexes impart selectivity for recognition of non-canonical DNA structures.

Abstract
Loss of a base in DNA leading to creation of an abasic (AP) site leaving a deoxyribose residue in the strand, is a frequent lesion that may occur spontaneously or under the action of various physical and chemical agents. Progress in the understanding of the chemistry and enzymology of abasic DNA largely relies upon the study of AP sites in synthetic duplexes. We report here on interactions of diastereomerically pure metallo-helical 'flexicate' complexes, bimetallic triple-stranded ferro-helicates [Fe2(NN-NN)3](4+) incorporating the common NN-NN bis(bidentate) helicand, with short DNA duplexes containing AP sites in different sequence contexts. The results show that the flexicates bind to AP sites in DNA duplexes in a shape-selective manner. They preferentially bind to AP sites flanked by purines on both sides and their binding is enhanced when a pyrimidine is placed in opposite orientation to the lesion. Notably, the Λ-enantiomer binds to all tested AP sites with higher affinity than the Δ-enantiomer. In addition, the binding of the flexicates to AP sites inhibits the activity of human AP endonuclease 1, which is as a valid anticancer drug target. Hence, this finding indicates the potential of utilizing well-defined metallo-helical complexes for cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Small molecules that can specifically bind to a DNA abasic site (AP site) have received much attention due to their importance in DNA lesion identification, drug discovery, and sensor design. Herein, the AP site binding behavior of sanguinarine (SG), a natural alkaloid, was investigated. In aqueous solution, SG has a short-wavelength alkanolamine emission band and a long-wavelength iminium emission band. At pH 8.3, SG experiences a fluorescence quenching for both bands upon binding to fully matched DNAs without the AP site, while the presence of the AP site induces a strong SG binding and the observed fluorescence enhancement for the iminium band are highly dependent on the nucleobases flanking the AP site, while the alkanolamine band is always quenched. The bases opposite the AP site also exert some modifications on the SG's emission behavior. It was found that the observed quenching for DNAs with Gs and Cs flanking the AP site is most likely caused by electron transfer between the AP site-bound excited-state SG and the nearby Gs. However, the flanking As and Ts that are not easily oxidized favor the enhanced emission. This AP site-selective enhancement of SG fluorescence accompanies a band conversion in the dominate emission from the alkanolamine to iminium band thus with a large emission shift of about 170 nm. Absorption spectra, steady-state and transient-state fluorescence, DNA melting, and electrolyte experiments confirm that the AP site binding of SG occurs and the stacking interaction with the nearby base pairs is likely to prevent the converted SG iminium form from contacting with water that is thus emissive when the AP site neighbors are bases other than guanines. We expect that this fluorophore would be developed as a promising AP site binder having a large emission shift.

Abstract
The zinc(II) complex of 1-(4-quinoylyl)methyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cy4q) binds selectively to thymine bulges in DNA and to a uracil bulge in RNA. Binding constants are in the low-micromolar range for thymine bulges in the stems of hairpins, for a thymine bulge in a DNA duplex, and for a uracil bulge in an RNA hairpin. Binding studies of Zn(cy4q) to a series of hairpins containing thymine bulges with different flanking bases showed that the complex had a moderate selectivity for thymine bulges with neighboring purines. The dissociation constants of the most strongly bound Zn(cy4q)-DNA thymine bulge adducts were 100-fold tighter than similar sequences with fully complementary stems or than bulges containing cytosine, guanine, or adenine. In order to probe the role of the pendent group, three additional zinc(II) complexes containing 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) with aromatic pendent groups were studied for binding to DNA including 1-(2-quinolyl)methyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cy2q), 1-(4-biphenyl)methyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cybp), and 5-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-1-ylsulfonyl)-N,N-dimethylnaphthalen-1-amine (dsc). The Zn(cybp) complex binds with moderate affinity but little selectivity to DNA hairpins with thymine bulges and to DNA lacking bulges. Similarly, Zn(dsc) binds weakly both to thymine bulges and hairpins with fully complementary stems. The zinc(II) complex of cy2q has the 2-quinolyl moiety bound to the Zn(II) center, as shown by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and pH-potentiometric titrations. As a consequence, only weak (500 μM) binding is observed to DNA with no appreciable selectivity. An NMR structure of a thymine-bulge-containing hairpin shows that the thymine is extrahelical but rotated toward the major groove. NMR data for Zn(cy4q) bound to DNA containing a thymine bulge is consistent with binding of the zinc(II) complex to the thymine N3(-) and stacking of the quinoline on top of the thymine. The thymine-bulge bound zinc(II) complex is pointed into the major groove, and there are interactions with the guanine positioned 5' to the thymine bulge.

Abstract
DNAzymes are catalytically active DNA molecules that use metal cofactors for their enzymatic functions. While a growing number of DNAzymes with diverse functions and metal selectivities have been reported, the relationships between metal ion selectivity, conserved sequences and structures responsible for selectivity remain to be elucidated. To address this issue, we report biochemical assays of a family of previously reported in vitro selected DNAzymes. This family includes the clone 11 DNAzyme, which was isolated by positive and negative selection, and the clone 18 DNAzyme, which was isolated by positive selection alone. The clone 11 DNAzyme has a higher selectivity for Co(2+) over Pb(2+) compared with clone 18. The reasons for this difference are explored here through phylogenetic comparison, mutational analysis and stepwise truncation. A novel DNAzyme truncation method incorporated a nick in the middle of the DNAzyme to allow for truncation close to the nicked site while preserving peripheral sequences at both ends of the DNAzyme. The results demonstrate that peripheral sequences within the substrate binding arms, most notably the stem loop, loop II, are sufficient to restore its selectivity for Co(2+) over Pb(2+) to levels observed in clone 11. A comparison of these sequences' secondary structures and Co(2+) selectivities suggested that metastable structures affect metal ion selectivity. The Co(2+) selectivity of the clone 11 DNAzyme showed that the metal ion binding and selectivities of small, in vitro selected DNAzymes may be more complex than previously appreciated, and that clone 11 may be more similar to larger ribozymes than to other small DNAzymes in its structural complexity and behavior. These factors should be taken into account when metal-ion selectivity is required in rationally designed DNAzymes and DNAzyme-based biosensors.

Abstract
The binding of ΔΔ/ΛΛ-[{Ru(phen)(2)}(2)(μ-bb(n))](4+) {where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bb(n) = 1,n-bis[4(4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridyl)]-alkane (ΔΔ/ΛΛ-Rubb(n))} to the non-self complementary oligonucleotide 5'-d(CGCGATAAGCCGC·5'-GCGGCATTACGCG) (3-DB) has been examined using a 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) displacement assay. The 3-DB oligonucleotide contains two single adenine bulge nucleotides that are separated by three base pairs. (1)H NMR spectroscopy data demonstrated that the adenine bases are intra-helical and that the segment containing the two bulge nucleotides and the three A·T base pairs between the bulges forms a destabilised segment within the stable duplex oligonucleotide. The DAPI displacement assay demonstrated that ΔΔ-Rubb(7)-bound 3-DB with higher affinity than the other members of the ΔΔ/ΛΛ-Rubb(n) series. Molecular models suggested that the seven-carbon chain length in ΔΔ-Rubb(7) was ideal to span the distance between the two bulge sites. The binding of ΔΔ-Rubb(7) to 3-DB was also studied by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling. The selective changes in chemical shifts for the resonances from 3-DB upon addition of ΔΔ-Rubb(7) suggested that the metal complex specifically bound at the destabilised segment between A(5) and A(19). Observation in NOESY spectra of NOE cross peaks between 3-DB and ΔΔ-Rubb(7) confirmed that one of the ruthenium centres bound at the A(5) bulge site, with the other metal centre positioned at the A(19) bulge. In addition, ΔΔ-Rubb(7) was found to bind chromosomal DNA extracted from a suspension of Staphylococcus aureus that had been incubated with the ruthenium(ii) complex. As inert dinuclear ruthenium(ii) complexes are capable of being transported into a bacterial cell and bind chromosomal DNA, it is possible that they could be developed into anti-microbial agents that specifically target destabilised segments of DNA that are recognised by essential DNA-binding proteins.

Abstract
Molecular recognition and chemical modification of DNA are important in medicinal chemistry, toxicology, and biotechnology. Historically, natural products have revealed many interesting and unexpected mechanisms for noncovalent DNA binding and covalent DNA modification. The studies reported here characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying the efficient alkylation of duplex DNA by the Streptomyces-derived natural product leinamycin. Previous studies suggested that alkylation of duplex DNA by activated leinamycin (2) is driven by noncovalent association of the natural product with the double helix. This is striking because leinamycin does not contain a classical noncovalent DNA-binding motif, such as an intercalating unit, a groove binder, or a polycation. The experiments described here provide evidence that leinamycin is an atypical DNA-intercalating agent. A competition binding assay involving daunomycin-mediated inhibition of DNA alkylation by leinamycin provided evidence that activated leinamycin binds to duplex DNA with an apparent binding constant of approximately 4.3 ± 0.4 × 10(3) M(-1). Activated leinamycin caused duplex unwinding and hydrodynamic changes in DNA-containing solutions that are indicative of DNA intercalation. Characterization of the reaction of activated leinamycin with palindromic duplexes containing 5'-CG and 5'-GC target sites, bulge-containing duplexes, and 5-methylcytosine-containing duplexes provided evidence regarding the orientation of leinamycin with respect to target guanine residues. The data allow construction of a model for the leinamycin-DNA complex suggesting how a modest DNA-binding constant combines with proper positioning of the natural product to drive efficient alkylation of guanine residues in the major groove of duplex DNA.

Abstract
DNA single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection has attracted much attention due to mutation-related diseases. Various fluorescence methods for SNP detection have been proposed and many are already in use. However, fluorescence enhancement for signal-on SNP identification without label modification still remains a challenge. Here, we find that the abasic site (AP site) in a DNA duplex can be developed as a binding pocket favorable for the occurrence of the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of a 3-hydroxyflavone, fisetin, which is used as a proof of concept for effective SNP identification. Fisetin binding at the AP site is highly selective for target thymine or cytosine facing the AP site by observation of a drastic increase in the ESIPT emission band. In addition, the target recognition selectivity based on this ESIPT process is not affected by flanking bases of the AP site. The binding selectivity of fisetin at the AP site is also confirmed by measurements of fluorescence resonance energy transfer, emission lifetime and DNA melting. The fluorescent signal-on sensing for SNP based on this fluorophore is substantially advantageous over the previously used fluorophores such as the AP site-specific signal-off organic ligands with a similar fluorescing mechanism before and after binding to DNA with hydrogen bonding interaction. We expect that this approach will be employed to develop a practical SNP detection method by locating an AP site toward a target and employing an ESIPT probe as readout.

Abstract
Gold(III) compounds have been recognized as anticancer agents due to their structural and electronic similarities with currently employed platinum(II) species. An added benefit to gold(III) agents is the ability to overcome cisplatin resistance. This work identified four gold(III) compounds, [Au(Phen)Cl(2)]PF(6), [Au(DPQ)Cl(2)]PF(6), [Au(DPPZ)Cl(2)]PF(6), and [Au(DPQC)Cl(2)]PF(6), (Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, DPQ = dipyrido[3,2-d:2',3'-f]quinoxaline, DPPZ = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c] phenazine, DPQC = dipyrido[3,2-d:2',3'-f] cyclohexyl quinoxaline) that exhibited anticancer activity in both cisplatin sensitive and cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer cells. Two of these compounds, [Au(DPQ)Cl(2)]PF(6) (AQ) and [Au(DPPZ)Cl(2)]PF(6) (AZ), displayed exceptional anticancer activity and were the focus of more intensive mechanistic study. At the molecular level, AQ and AZ formed DNA adducts, generated free radicals, and upregulated pro-apoptotic signaling molecules (p53, caspases, PARP, death effectors). Taken together, these two novel gold(III) polypyridyl complexes exhibit potent antitumor activity in cisplatin resistant cancer cells. These activities may be mediated, in part, by the activation of apoptotic signaling.

Abstract
A collection of 15 homodimeric and 5 heterodimeric macrocyclic bisintercalators was prepared by one- or two-step condensation of aromatic dialdehydes with aliphatic diamines; notably, the heterodimeric scaffolds were synthesized for the first time. The binding of these macrocycles to DNA duplexes containing a mispaired thymine residue (TX), as well as to the fully paired control (TA), was investigated by thermal denaturation and fluorescent-intercalator-displacement experiments. The bisnaphthalene derivatives, in particular, the 2,7-disubstituted ones, have the highest selectivity for the TX mismatches, as these macrocycles show no apparent binding to the fully paired DNA. By contrast, other macrocyclic ligands, as well as seven conventional DNA binders, show lesser or no selectivity for the mismatch sites. The study demonstrates that the topology of the ligands plays a crucial role in determining the mismatch-binding affinity and selectivity of the macrocyclic bisintercalators.

Abstract
DNA bulges are biologically consequential defects that can arise from template-primer misalignments during replication and pose challenges to the cellular DNA repair machinery. Calorimetric and spectroscopic characterizations of defect-containing duplexes reveal systematic patterns of sequence-context dependent bulge-induced destabilizations. These distinguishing energetic signatures are manifest in three coupled characteristics, namely: the magnitude of the bulge-induced duplex destabilization (DeltaDeltaG(Bulge)); the thermodynamic origins of DeltaDeltaG(Bulge) (i.e. enthalpic versus entropic); and, the cooperativity of the duplex melting transition (i.e. two-state versus non-two state). We find moderately destabilized duplexes undergo two-state dissociation and exhibit DeltaDeltaG(Bulge) values consistent with localized, nearest neighbor perturbations arising from unfavorable entropic contributions. Conversely, strongly destabilized duplexes melt in a non-two-state manner and exhibit DeltaDeltaG(Bulge) values consistent with perturbations exceeding nearest-neighbor expectations that are enthalpic in origin. Significantly, our data reveal an intriguing correlation in which the energetic impact of a single bulge base centered in one strand portends the impact of the corresponding complementary bulge base embedded in the opposite strand. We discuss potential correlations between these bulge-specific differential energetic profiles and their overall biological implications in terms of DNA recognition, repair and replication.

Abstract
Two crystal structures of Delta-Rh(bpy)(2)(chrysi)(3+) (chrysi is 5,6-chrysenequinone diimine) bound to the oligonucleotide duplex 5'-CGGAAATTACCG-3' containing two adenosine-adenosine mismatches (italics) through metalloinsertion were determined. Diffraction quality crystals with two different space groups (P3(2)21 and P4(3)2(1)2) were obtained under very similar crystallization conditions. In both structures, the bulky rhodium complex inserts into the two mismatched sites from the minor groove side, ejecting the mismatched bases into the major groove. The conformational changes are localized to the mismatched site; the metal complex replaces the mismatched base pair without an increase in base pair rise. The expansive metal complex is accommodated in the duplex by a slight opening in the phosphodiester backbone; all sugars retain a C2'-endo puckering, and flanking base pairs neither stretch nor shear. The structures differ, however, in that in one of the structures, an additional metal complex is bound by intercalation from the major groove at the central 5'-AT-3' step. We conclude that this additional metal complex is intercalated into this central step because of crystal packing forces. The structures described here of Delta-Rh(bpy)(2)(chrysi)(3+) bound to thermodynamically destabilized AA mismatches share critical features with binding by metalloinsertion in two other oligonucleotides containing different single-base mismatches. These results underscore the generality of metalloinsertion as a new mode of noncovalent binding by small molecules with a DNA duplex.

Abstract
The luminescent characteristics of Ru(bpy)(2)dppz(2+) (dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine), a DNA light switch, were investigated in the presence of oligonucleotides containing single base mismatches or an abasic site. In water, the ruthenium luminescence is quenched, but, bound to well matched duplex DNA, the Ru complex luminesces. Here we show that with DNAs containing a defect, rac-, Delta-, and Lambda-Ru(bpy)(2)dppz(2+) exhibit significant luminescent enhancements above that with well matched DNA. In the presence of a single base mismatch, large luminescent enhancements are evident for the Delta-Ru isomer; the Lambda-isomer shows particularly high luminescence bound to an oligonucleotide containing an abasic site. Similar increases are not evident with two common DNA-binding organic fluorophores, ethidium bromide and TO-PRO-3. Titrations with hairpin oligonucleotides containing a variable mismatch site show correlation between the level of luminescent enhancement and the thermodynamic destabilization associated with the mismatch. This correlation is reminiscent of that found earlier for a bulky rhodium complex that binds mismatched DNA sites through metalloinsertion, where the complex binds the DNA from the minor groove side, ejecting the mismatched bases into the major groove. Differential quenching studies with minor and major groove quenchers and time-resolved emission studies support this metalloinsertion mode for the dppz complex at the defect site. Certainly these data underscore the utility of Ru(bpy)(2)dppz(2+) as a sensitive luminescent reporter of DNA and its defects.
