Abstract
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors play a crucial role in the treatment of HIV by preventing the activity of the enzyme responsible for the replication of the virus. The HIV-1 Tat protein binds to transactivation response (TAR) RNA and recruits host factors to stimulate HIV-1 transcription. We have created a small library consisting of 4 × 6 polypyridyl Ru(II) complexes that selectively bind to TAR RNA, with targeting groups specific to HIV-1 TAR RNA. The molecule design was conducted by introducing hydroxyl or methoxy groups into an established potent TAR binder. The potential TAR binding ability was analysis from nature charge population and electrostatic potential by quantum chemistry calculations. Key modifications were found to be R1 and R3 groups. The most potent and selective TAR RNA binder was a3 with R1 = OH, R2 = H and R3 = Me. Through molecular recognition of hydrogen bonds and electrostatic attraction, they were able to firmly and selectively bind HIV-1 TAR RNA. Furthermore, they efficiently obstructed the contact between TAR RNA and Tat protein, and inhibited the reverse transcription activity of HIV-1 RT. The polypyridyl Ru(II) complexes were chemical and photo-stable, and sensitive and selective spectroscopic responses to TAR RNA. They exhibited little toxicity towards normal cells. Hence, this study might offer significant drug design approaches for researching AIDS and other illnesses associated with RT, including HCV, EBOV, and SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, it could contribute to fundamental research on the interactions of inorganic transition metal complexes with biomolecules.

A Kinetic Investigation of the Supramolecular Chiral Self-Assembling Process of Cationic Organometallic (2,2':6',2″-terpyridine)methylplatinum(II) Complexes with Poly(L-glutamic Acid). Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1176.

Abstract
The cationic platinum(II) organometallic complex [Pt(terpy)Me]+ (terpy = 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) at mild acidic pH interacts with poly(L-glutamic acid) (L-PGA) in its α-helix conformation, affording chiral supramolecular adducts. Their kinetics of formation have been investigated in detail as a function of the concentrations of both reagents and changing pH, ionic strength, the length of the polymeric scaffold and temperature. After a very fast early stage, the kinetic traces have been analyzed as three consecutive steps, suggesting a mechanism based on the electrostatic fast formation of a not-organized aggregate that subsequently evolves through different rearrangements to form the eventual supramolecular adduct. A model for this species has been proposed based on (i) the attractive electrostatic interaction of the cationic platinum(II) complexes and the polyelectrolyte and (ii) the π-stacking interactions acting among the [Pt(terpy)Me]+ units.

Abstract
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors are fundamental to the discovery and development of anti-HIV drugs. Their main target is RT, and only a tiny number of them can bind to viral RNA. In this paper, five new Zn(II) porphyrin compounds were developed with different characters. ZnTPP4 has both the appearance and the functions of a scorpion with a rigid tail and stinger to selectively hunt HIV-1 TAR RNA based on the molecular recognition of hydrogen bonds, a fierce chelicera to bite RNA by metal coordination, mighty pedipalps to grasp the bound RNA by supramolecular inclusion, and a broad body maintaining the configuration of each functional area so that they can cooperate with each other and providing accommodation space for the bound RNA. This tetrafunctional Zn(II) porphyrin is relatively nontoxic to normal cells and can produce sensitive responses for RNA. Moreover, this work offers practical construction methodologies for medication of AIDS and other diseases closely related to RT like EBOV and SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Porphyrins are among the first ligands that have been tested for their quadruplex binding and stabilization potential. We report the differential interaction of the positional cationic porphyrin isomers TMPyP3 and TMPyP4 with a parallel G-quadruplex (GQ) formed by 33-mer (TP) regulatory sequence present in the promoter region of the human multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) transporter gene. This GQ element encompasses the three evolutionary conserved SP1 transcription factor binding sites. Taking into account that SP1 binds to a non-canonical GQ motif with higher affinity than to a canonical duplex DNA consensus motif, it is suggestive that GQ distortion by cationic porphyrin will have important implications in the regulation of MRP1 expression. Herein, we employed biophysical analysis using circular dichroism, visible absorption, UV-thermal melting and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, reporting destabilization of MRP1 GQ by cationic porphyrins. Results suggest that TMPyP4 and TMPyP3 interact with GQ with a binding affinity of 106 to 107 M-1 . Thermodynamic analysis indicated a significant decrease in melting temperature of GQ (ΔTm of 15.5°C-23.5°C), in the presence of 2 times excess of porphyrins. This study provides the biophysical evidence indicating the destabilisation of a parallel DNA G-quadruplex by cationic porphyrins.

Abstract
MiR-21, a non-coding miRNA with 22 nucleotides, plays an important part in the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells. The present study demonstrates that isomers of chiral ruthenium(II) complexes with alkynes (Λ-1 and Δ-1) were synthesized by Songogashira coupling reaction by using microwave-assisted synthetic technology. The isomers can recognize and stabilize miR-21, with the Λ-isomer showing a stronger binding capacity than the Δ-isomer. Further studies showed that both isomers can be uptaken by MDA-MB-231 cells and enriched in the nucleus. Treatment with the Λ-/Δ-isomer downregulated the expression of miR-21. In a word, the development of chiral ruthenium(II) complexes act as potential inhibitors against tumor cells by recognizing, stabilizing, and regulating the expression of miR-21.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a clinical cancer treatment method has been used to treat carcinomas in different organs, and G-quadruplex-based DNA nanocompartments serving as the carriers of cationic porphyrin photosensitizers, especially combined with cell-targeting aptamers, is considered to offer new opportunities for future cancer treatment. However, the structural features of G-quadruplex/aptamer complexes suitable for the capsulation of photosensitizers and target cell recognition is unexplored so far. In this study, unimolecular (UM), bimolecular (BM) and tetramolecular (TM) G-quadruplex structures were used as the drug loading compartments and grafted onto tumor cell-targeting aptamer Sgc8, constructing several targeting drug delivery vehicles (T-GMVs). Besides the binding affinity of resulting DNA architectures for target cells and cell recognition specificity were explored in a comparative fashion, the drug loading capability and cancer therapy efficacy were evaluated using TMPyP4 as the model porphyrin-based drug. The experimental results show that only TM G-quadruplex structure is suitable to combine with Sgc8 for the development of drug delivery vehicle and the as-prepared T-GMV- TMPyP4 complexes display the desirable cancer therapy efficacy, holding the potential application in the future cancer therapy. More importantly, T-GMV- TMPyP4 is expected to lay the scientific groundwork for the successful development of G-quadruplex-based photosensitizer drug delivery carriers for the targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
The problem of treating viral infections is extremely relevant due to both the emergence of new viral diseases and to the low effectiveness of existing approaches to the treatment of known viral infections. This review focuses on the application of porphyrin, chlorin, and phthalocyanine series for combating viral infections by chemical and photochemical inactivation methods. The purpose of this review paper is to summarize the main approaches developed to date in the chemical and photodynamic inactivation of human and animal viruses using porphyrins and their analogues and to analyze and discuss the information on viral targets and antiviral activity of porphyrins, chlorins, of their conjugates with organic/inorganic compounds obtained in the last 10–15 years in order to identify the most promising areas.

Abstract
Noncanonical four-stranded DNA structures, including G-quadruplexes and i-motifs, have been discovered in the cell and are implicated in a variety of genomic regulatory functions. The tendency of a specific guanine- and cytosine-rich region of genomic DNA to adopt a four-stranded conformation depends on its ability to overcome the constraints of duplex base-pairing by undergoing consecutive duplex-to-coil and coil-to-tetraplex transitions. The latter ability is determined by the balance between the free energies of participating ordered and disordered structures. In this review, we present an overview of the literature on the stability of G-quadruplex and i-motif structures and discuss the extent of duplex-tetraplex competition as a function of the sequence context of the DNA and environmental conditions including temperature, pH, salt, molecular crowding, and the presence of G-quadruplex-binding ligands. We outline how the results of in vitro studies can be expanded to understanding duplex-tetraplex equilibria in vivo.

Abstract
In this work the hybridization kinetics of DNA fragments on underlayer has been studied, when besides single-stranded DNA molecules there are also ligands in the medium that are able to intercalate into DNA-duplexes. A system of differential equations was obtained that describes the correlative change of the number of DNA-duplexes on the underlayer and the change of the number of ligands intercalating into DNA-duplexes. It was shown that the rate of underlayer filling by DNA-duplexes increases along with the enhancement of both equilibrium constant of formation reaction of DNA-duplexes and the concentration of DNA targets in the solution. It was also shown that the intercalation kinetics of ligands into DNA-duplexes relevantly depends on relation of dissociation rate constant of DNA-duplex to dissociation rate of the ligand complex with DNA-duplex.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2020; 204:111804. [PMID: 32007677 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2020.111804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2019] [Revised: 01/18/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The ubiquitous influence of double stranded RNAs in biological events makes them imperative to gather data based on specific binding procedure of small molecules to various RNA conformations. Particular interest may be attributed to situations wherein small molecules target RNAs altering their structures and causing functional modifications. The main focus of this study is to delve into the interactive pattern of two small molecule phenothiazinium dyes, methylene blue and new methylene blue, with three duplex RNA polynucleotides-poly(A).poly(U), poly(C).poly(G) and poly(I).poly(C) by spectroscopic and molecular modeling techniques. Analysis of data as per Scatchard and Benesi-Hildebrand methodologies revealed highest affinity of these dyes to poly(A).poly(U) and least to poly(I).poly(C). In addition to fluorescence quenching, viscometric studies also substantiated that the dyes follow different modes of binding to different RNA polynucleotides. Distortion in the RNA structures with induced optical activity in the otherwise optically inactive dye molecules was evidenced from circular dichroism results. Dye-induced RNA structural modification occurred from extended conformation to compact particles visualized by atomic force microscopy. Molecular docking results revealed different binding patterns of the dye molecules within the RNA duplexes. The novelty of the present work lies towards a new contribution of the phenothiazinium dyes in dysfunctioning double stranded RNAs, advancing our knowledge to their potential use as RNA targeted small molecules.

Abstract
The interaction of water soluble meso-tetra-(4N-oxyethylpyridyl) porphyrin (TOEPyP4) and its Cu(II)- and Co(II)-containing derivatives (CuTOEPyP4 and CoTOEPyP4) with A and B forms of DNA at low ionic strength was studied via UV-vis spectrophotometry and Circular Dichroism. It is shown that the binding constant of TOEPyP4 and CuTOEPyP4 with A–DNA is two times larger than with B–DNA, and the binding constant of CoTOEPyP4 does not depend on the form of DNA. The thermodynamical analysis based on spectral data indicates the preferable entropic character of porphyrins binding with both forms of DNA. This result shows that at low ionic strength the external groove binding mode is a preferred binding mechanism of these porphyrins with both forms of DNA.

Abstract
Ultraviolet-visible, emission and circular dichroism spectroscopic methods were used in transfer RNA (tRNA) interaction studies performed for polyethyleneimine-copper(II) complexes [Cu(phen)(l-Tyr)BPEI]ClO4 (where phen =1,10-phenanthroline, l-Tyr = l-tyrosine and BPEI = branched polyethyleneimine) with various degrees of coordination (x = 0.059, 0.149, 0.182) in the polymer chain. The results indicated that polyethyleneimine-copper(II) complexes bind with tRNA mostly through surface binding, although other binding modes, such as hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions, might also be present. Dye-exclusion, sulforhodamine B and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays of a polyethyleneimine-copper(II) complex with a higher degree of coordination against different cancer cell lines proved that the complex exhibited cytotoxic specificity and a significant cancer cell inhibition rate. Antimicrobial screening showed activity against some human pathogens.

Abstract
This communication presents synthesis and spectral characterization of metalloporphyrin [Zn(X)TMPyP4] (TMPyP4 is 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin), and studies its binding onto anionic surface sites of synthetic double stranded polynucleotide Poly(A)-Poly(U). [Zn(X)TMPyP4] binding with Poly(A)-Poly(U) was monitored by UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy, two fluorescence spectroscopies and 1H NMR in a working aqueous medium of 0.15M ionic strength, pH7.0 and at 25°C. The evidence provided by spectroscopic measurements and multivariate data analysis suggests the use of this metalloporphyrin as a probe for investigation of the polynucleotide surface. In contrast to TMPyP4 intercalation, an outside adsorption of [Zn(X)TMPyP4] induces an attenuation of luminescence intensity and has little influence on the shape of luminescence band. Special attention was paid to the quantitative description of the interaction between neighboring ligands on the Poly(A)-Poly(U) surface. The intrinsic binding constant to an isolated binding site lgKin 5.8±0.1, the cooperativity parameter ω 1.8±0.2, and number of monomers occupied by a ligand n=2 (25°C; pH7.0) were calculated based upon the recently proposed non-linear least-squares fitting procedure. The discovered cooperativity of binding of [Zn(X)TMPyP4] metalloporphyrin to Poly(A)-Poly(U) is significantly lower as compared to free porphyrin TMPyP4, reflecting minimal mutual influence between the nearest neighboring ligands bound with functional PO4(-) groups of the polynucleotide surface.

Abstract
The effects of cationic porphyrins on the catalytic activities of four group I ribozymes were investigated. A cationic porphyrin possessing four pyridinium moieties (pPyP) inhibited two group IC3 ribozymes (Syn Rz and Azo Rz) and a group IC1 ribozyme (Tet Rz). In the case of a group IA2 ribozyme (Td Rz), however, pPyP served not only as an inhibitor but also as an activator, and the effects of pPyP were dependent on its concentration. To analyze the structural and electronic factors determining the effects of pPyP on group I ribozymes, three cationic porphyrins (pPyNCP, pPyF4P, and TMPyP) were also examined. As interactions between small organic molecules and nucleic acids are attractive and important issues in biochemistry and biotechnology, this study contributes to the development of porphyrin-based molecules that can modulate functions of structured RNA molecules.

Abstract
In response to apoptotic stimuli, cytochrome c, an inter-membrane space protein is released from mitochondria to activate the cascade of caspases that leads to apoptosis. Recent evidence suggests that cytochrome c interacts with tRNA in the cytoplasm and this interaction was shown to inhibit the caspase mediated apoptotic process. Interestingly, cytochrome c does not contain any putative RNA binding domain. In this report, we sought to define the structural component of cytochrome c that is involved in binding of tRNA. By using gel mobility shift assays, we show that holocytochrome c can interact with tRNA but not apocytochrome c that lacks the heme domain suggesting that heme is essential for the interaction of cytochrome c to tRNA. In addition, using in vitro cross linking and circular dichroism spectroscopic studies, we show that cytochrome c can undergo heme mediated oligomerization. Prevention of heme mediated oligomerization of cytochrome c by potassium ferricyanide treatment prevents the binding of tRNA and promotes caspase activation. Our studies provide a novel regulation of apoptosis by heme dependent tRNA interaction to cytochrome c.

Abstract
The c-MYC gene plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and growth and it is overexpressed in a wide variety of human cancers. Around 90% of c-MYC transcription is controlled by the nuclease-hypersensitive element III1 (NHE III1), whose 27-nt purine-rich strand has the ability to form a G-quadruplex structure under physiological conditions. Therefore, c-MYC DNA is an attractive target for drug design, especially for cancer chemotherapy. Here, the interaction of water-soluble tetrapyridinoporphyrazinatozinc(II) with 27-nt G-rich strand (G/c-MYC), its equimolar mixture with the complementary sequence (GC/c-MYC) and related C-rich oligonucleotide (C/c-MYC) is investigated. Circular dichroism (CD) measurements of the G-rich 27-mer oligonucleotide in 150 mM KCl, pH 7 demonstrate a spectral signature consistent with parallel G-quadruplex DNA. Furthermore, the CD spectrum of the GC rich oligonucleotide shows characteristics of both duplex and quadruplex structures. Absorption spectroscopy implies that the complex binding of G/c-MYC and GC/c-MYC is a two-step process; in the first step, a very small red shift and hypochromicity and in the second step, a large red shift and hyperchromicity are observed in the Q band. Emission spectra of zinc porphyrazine are quenched upon addition of three types of DNA. According to the results of spectroscopy, it can be concluded the dominant binding mode is probably, outside binding and end stacking.

A new G-quadruplex (GQ) stabilizer, [Pt(Dip)2](PF6)2 (Dip: 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline), is prepared by the microwave irradiation method. The complex can highly stabilize G-quadruplex, but has negligible interactions with duplex DNA. Aromatic anchors on the polypyridyl ligands bestow the stabilizer with a high binding preference towards parallel GQ.

Abstract
The interaction modes and nuclease activity against RNA of methylpyridiniumyl/phenyl-hydroxamic acid porphyrin adducts have been investigated. These compounds are derived from the tetracationic meso-tetrakis(N-methyl-4-pyridiniumyl)porphyrin (H2TMPyP-4) by replacing one or two pyridinium rings with a phenyl group. This group is bearing an aliphatic chain of three carbon atoms in the para position to a hydroxamic acid. A different interaction mode is observed depending on the number of charges and hydroxamic acid function. The nuclease activity of the porphyrin adducts against RNA has been demonstrated. Also the effect of the presence of various lanthanide ions on the porphyrin nuclease activity has been tested.

Abstract
We report that the cationic porphyrin TmPyP4, which is known mainly as a DNA G-quadruplex stabilizer, unfolds an unusually stable all purine RNA G-quadruplex (M3Q) that is located in the 5′-UTR of MT3-MMP mRNA. When the interaction between TmPyP4 and M3Q was monitored by UV spectroscopy a 22-nm bathochromic shift and 75% hypochromicity of the porphin major Soret band was observed indicating direct binding of the two molecules. TmPyP4 disrupts folded M3Q in a concentration-dependent fashion as was observed by circular dichroism (CD), 1D 1H NMR and native gel electrophoresis. Additionally, when TmPyP4 is present during the folding process it inhibits the M3Q RNA from adopting a G-quadruplex structure. Using a dual reporter gene construct that contained the M3Q sequence alone or the entire 5′-UTR of MT3-MMP mRNA, we report here that TmPyP4 can relieve the inhibitory effect of the M3Q G-quadruplex. However, the same concentrations of TmPyP4 failed to affect translation of a mutated construct. Thus, TmPyP4 has the ability to unfold an RNA G-quadruplex of extreme stability and modulate activity of a reporter gene presumably via the disruption of the G-quadruplex.

Abstract
The polymer-copper(II) complex samples, [Cu(phen)(l-Val) BPEI]Cl·H(2)O, with varying degrees of coordination in the polymer chain, were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. The binding of these complex samples with both DNA and RNA has been investigated. The experimental results indicate that the polyethyleneimine-copper(II) complex samples bind with DNA and RNA mostly through surface binding; but hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are also present. Evaluation of cytotoxic activity of a sample of polymer-copper(II) complex with higher degree of coordination against different cancer cell lines proved that the complex exhibited cytotoxic specificity and significant cancer cell inhibition rate.

Abstract
The binding mode and stoichiometry of the cationic porphyrin TMPyP4 to G-quadruplex structure are still controversial to date, mainly due to the intricate polymorphism of G-rich sequences in the different conditions of solution. Here in the presence of the molecular crowding agent PEG, the binding interaction of TMPyP4 and another porphyrin derivative TPrPyP4 with four-stranded parallel (G(4)T(4)G(4))4 G-quadruplex was studied systematically using circular dichroism, visible absorption titration, and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopies. The results show that each (G(4)T(4)G(4))4 molecule is able to bind four TMPyP4 or TPrPyP4 molecules. Two types of independent and nonequivalent binding sites with the higher and lower binding affinity are confirmed, and the stronger and weaker binding constants are 2.74 x 10(8) and 8.21 x 10(5)M(-1) for (G(4)T(4)G(4))4-TMPyP4, 2.05 x 10(8) and 1.05 x 10(6)M(-1) for (G(4)T(4)G(4))4-TPrPyP4, respectively. The two porphyrin molecules stack on the two ends of G-quadruplex with the higher binding affinity, another two porphyrins bind weakly to the two external grooves.

Abstract
G-quadruplexes are known to be potential targets for therapeutic intervention, thus resulting in development of various quadruplex interacting ligands. However, until now, no systemic study has been performed to understand molecular recognition of quadruplex in the presence of molecular crowding agents mimicking cellular conditions. The stability and molecular recognition of quadruplex can be influenced by loop length. Herein, we attempted to study the interaction of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphine (TMPyP4), a well-known G-quadruplex binding ligand with various DNA quadruplexes differing in total loop length and loop arrangement in both the absence and presence of molecular crowding agents. Results obtained from CD studies revealed that longer loops favor mixed and antiparallel conformation in both the absence and presence of 30% ethylene glycol. UV thermal melting studies revealed that the stability and formation of quadruplex increases in the presence of 30% ethylene glycol. Moreover, the binding of TMPyP4 molecule to both of the binding sites in different quadruplexes with total loop length varying from 3 to 9 remains unchanged in both the absence and presence of 30% ethylene glycol. The binding affinity (K(a)) of TMPyP4 was found to be decreased approximately by 1 order for the quadruplex sequences with total loop length varying from 11 to 15 in the presence of molecular crowding agents.

Abstract
Quadruplex forming potential has also been observed at the RNA level and has been associated with molecular function and recognition; however, biophysical characterization of these structures to understand their recognition properties still remains a subject of investigation. We employed CD and UV spectroscopy to understand the conformation and stability of a 24-mer human telomeric RNA quadruplex and compared it with that of the corresponding DNA analogue in 100 mM KCl containing solution. We observed that the RNA quadruplex adopts a parallel conformation and displays remarkably high thermal stabilities as compared to its DNA counterpart. Using the osmotic stress method, we determined the net release of 6.0+/-0.5 and 4.0+/-0.4 water molecules from the RNA and DNA quadruplex structure, respectively. Furthermore, UV titration experiments showed that both human telomeric RNA and DNA quadruplexes possess similar recognition abilities for TMPyP4 molecules. Our study provides a lead in extending the knowledge generated for the DNA quadruplex to the RNA level.

Abstract
Interactions of porphyrin derivatives 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)-21H,23H-porphyrin (TMPyP4) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-propylpyridinium-4-yl)-21H,23H-porphyrin (TPrPyP4) with human telomeric AG(3)(T(2)AG(3))(3) G-quadruplex DNAs in 150 mM K(+)-containing buffer in the presence or absence of 40% molecular crowding agent poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG 200) were studied by absorption titration fitting and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The results show that two TMPyP4 (or TPrPyP4) molecules bind to antiparallel/parallel hybrid structure of AG(3)(T(2)AG(3))(3) G-quadruplex by end-stacking and outside groove binding modes in the absence of PEG. Interestingly, in the presence of PEG one porphyrin molecule is stacked between two parallel AG(3)(T(2)AG(3))(3) G- quadruplexes to form a sandwich structure, another porphyrin molecule is bound to the groove of the G-quadruplex. The interactions of TMPyP4 with different structures of AG(3)(T(2)AG(3))(3) G-quadruplex are non cooperative, the binding constants of two independent binding sites are 1.07 x 10(6) and 4.42 x 10(8) M(-1) for an antiparallel/parallel hybrid structure of AG(3)(T(2)AG(3))(3), 8.67 x 10(5) and 2.26 x 10(8) M(-1) for parallel-stranded AG(3)(T(2)AG(3))(3) G-quadruplex. Conversely, the two binding sites are cooperative for TPrPyP4, the apparent association constants are 5.58 x 10(6) and 1.24 x 10(7) M(-1) for parallel-stranded and antiparallel/parallel hybrid structures of AG(3)(T(2)AG(3))(3) G-quadruplex, respectively.

Abstract
G-quadruplexes are believed to be potential targets for therapeutic intervention and this has resulted in designing of various quadruplex interacting ligands. Moreover, reports about existence of quadruplex forming sequences across the genome have propelled greater interest in understanding their interaction with small molecules. An intramolecular quadruplex sequence can adopt different conformations, owing to different orientation of loops in the structure. The differences in the loop orientation can affect their molecular recognition. Herein, we have studied the interaction of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridyl)-21H, 23H-porphine (TMPyP4), a well-known G quadruplex binding ligand with three DNA quadruplexes differing in loop orientations. Results obtained from UV, ITC, and SPR studies have coherently revealed that the TMPyP4 molecule shows preferential binding to parallel G-quadruplex ( c-myc and c-kit) over its antiparallel counterpart (human telomeric). The binding affinity for parallel quadruplex was (10(7)) 1 order of magnitude higher than that for antiparallel DNA quadruplex (10 ). The study shows two binding modes, stronger binding (10(7)) of TMPyP4 involving end stacking and a weaker external binding (10 ), while TMPyP4 shows only one binding mode with duplex with a binding affinity of the order of 10(6). Overall, the study emphasizes that differences in the loop orientation give rise to different conformations of quadruplex, which in turn govern its binding to small molecules, and thereby play a pivotal role in molecular recognition.

Abstract
Thermodynamic parameters of melting process (DeltaHm, Tm, DeltaTm) of calf thymus DNA, poly(dA)poly(dT) and poly(d(A-C)).poly(d(G-T)) were determined in the presence of various concentrations of TOEPyP(4) and its Zn complex. The investigated porphyrins caused serious stabilization of calf thymus DNA and poly poly(dA)poly(dT), but not poly(d(A-C))poly(d(G-T)). It was shown that TOEpyp(4) revealed GC specificity, it increased Tm of satellite fraction by 24 degrees C, but ZnTOEpyp(4), on the contrary, predominantly bound with AT-rich sites and increased DNA main stage Tm by 18 degrees C, and Tm of poly(dA)poly(dT) increased by 40 degrees C, in comparison with the same polymers without porphyrin. ZnTOEpyp(4) binds with DNA and poly(dA)poly(dT) in two modes--strong and weak ones. In the range of r from 0.005 to 0.08 both modes were fulfilled, and in the range of r from 0.165 to 0.25 only one mode--strong binding--took place. The weak binding is characterized with shifting of Tm by some grades, and for the strong binding Tm shifts by approximately 30-40 degrees C. Invariability of DeltaHm of DNA and poly(dA)poly(dT), and sharp increase of Tm in the range of r from 0.08 to 0.25 for thymus DNA and 0.01-0.2 for poly(dA)poly(dT) we interpret as entropic character of these complexes melting. It was suggested that this entropic character of melting is connected with forcing out of H2O molecules from AT sites by ZnTOEpyp(4) and with formation of outside stacking at the sites of binding. Four-fold decrease of calf thymus DNA melting range width DeltaTm caused by increase of added ZnTOEpyp(4) concentration is explained by rapprochement of AT and GC pairs thermal stability, and it is in agreement with a well-known dependence, according to which DeltaT approximately TGC-TAT for DNA obtained from higher organisms (L. V. Berestetskaya, M. D. Frank-Kamenetskii, and Yu. S. Lazurkin. Biopolymers 13, 193-205 (1974)). Poly (d(A-C))poly(d(G-T)) in the presence of ZnTOEpyp(4) gives only one mode of weak binding. The conclusion is that binding of ZnTOEpyp(4) with DNA depends on its nucleotide sequence.

Abstract
We employed UV light absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic measurements to study the binding of novel water-soluble porphyrins meso-tetra-(4N-allylpyridyl)porphyrin [TAlPyP4], and its Ag containing derivative to the poly(rA)poly(rU) and poly(rI)poly(rC) RNA duplexes. Our results suggest that TAlPyP4 associate with the duplexes via intercalation, whereas the conservative CD spectra indicates that AgTAlPyP4 preferably binds via outside self-stacking mode. We used our determined binding isotherms for each ligand-RNA binding event to calculate the binding constant, Kb, and binding free energy, DeltaGb = -RTlnKb. By performing these experiments as a function of temperature, we evaluated the van't Hoff binding enthalpies, DeltaH. The binding entropies, DeltaSb, were calculated as DeltaSb = (DeltaHb - DeltaGb)/T. We interpret our data in terms of specific interactions that stabilize/destabilize each ligand-RNA complex studied in this work. Taken together, our data provide important new information about the thermodynamics of interactions of porphyrins with nucleic acids.
