Abstract
Genome integrity is essential for proper cell function such that genetic instability can result in cellular dysfunction and disease. Mutations in the human genome are not random, and occur more frequently at "hotspot" regions that often co-localize with sequences that have the capacity to adopt alternative (i.e. non-B) DNA structures. Non-B DNA-forming sequences are mutagenic, can stimulate the formation of DNA double-strand breaks, and are highly enriched at mutation hotspots in human cancer genomes. Thus, small molecules that can modulate the conformations of these structure-forming sequences may prove beneficial in the prevention and/or treatment of genetic diseases. Further, the development of molecular probes to interrogate the roles of non-B DNA structures in modulating DNA function, such as genetic instability in cancer etiology are warranted. Here, we discuss reported non-B DNA stabilizers, destabilizers, and probes, recent assays to identify ligands, and the potential biological applications of these DNA structure-modulating molecules.

Abstract
The binding modes of a pyrene-porphyrin dyad, (1-pyrenyl)-tris(N-methyl-p-pyridino)porphyrin (PyTMpyP), to various DNAs (calf thymus DNA (Ct-DNA), poly[d(G-C)2], and poly[d(A-T)2]) have been investigated using circular dichroism and linear dichroism measurements. Based on the polarization spectroscopic results, it can be shown that the pyrenyl and porphryin planes are skewed to a large extent for PyTMPyP in an aqueous environment and in the binding site of poly[d(G-C)2]. In this complex, a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process between the pyrenyl and porphyrin moieties occurs. On the other hand, PET was not observed in the PyTMPyP-poly[d(A-T)2] complex, whereas the fluorescence intensity of TMPyP was enhanced. The molecular planes of the pyrene and porphyrin moieties are almost parallel in the poly[d(A-T)2] and Ct-DNA adducts. Moreover, the generation of 1O2 species occurs only for the PyTMPyP-Ct-DNA and PyTMPyP-poly[d(A-T)2] complexes. We discuss the photophysical properties of PyTMPyP which are attributed to the binding patterns and the sequence of DNA bases.

Abstract
Recognition of unusual left-handed Z-DNA by specific binding of small molecules is crucial for understanding biological functions in which this particular structure participates. Recent investigations indicate that zinc cationic porphyrin (ZnTMPyP4) is promising as a probe for recognizing Z-DNA due to its characteristic chiroptical properties upon binding with Z-DNA. However, binding mechanisms of the ZnTMPyP4/Z-DNA complex remain unclear. By employing time-resolved UV-visible absorption spectroscopy in conjunction with induced circular dichroism (ICD), UV-vis, and fluorescence measurements, we examined the binding interactions of ZnTMPyP4 towards B-DNA and Z-DNA. For the ZnTMPyP4/Z-DNA complex, two coexisting binding modes were identified as the electrostatic interaction between pyridyl groups and phosphate backbones, and the major groove binding by zinc(II) coordinating with the exposed guanine N7. The respective contribution of each mode is assessed, allowing a complete scenario of binding modes revealed for the ZnTMPyP4/Z-DNA. These interaction modes are quite different from those (intercalation and partial intercalation modes) for the ZnTMPyP4/B-DNA complex, thereby resulting in explicit differentiation between B-DNA and Z-DNA. Additionally, the binding interactions of planar TMPyP4 to DNA were also investigated as a comparison. It is shown that without available virtual orbitals to coordinate, TMPyP4 binds with Z-DNA solely in the intercalation mode, as with B-DNA, and the intercalation results in a structural transition from Z-DNA to B-ZNA. These results provide mechanistic insights for understanding ZnTMPyP4 as a probe of recognizing Z-DNA and afford a possible strategy for designing new porphyrin derivatives with available virtual orbitals for the discrimination of B-DNA and Z-DNA.

Abstract
The binding modes of a pyrene-porphyrin dyad, (1-pyrenyl)-tris(N-methyl-p-pyridino)porphyrin (PyTMpyP), to DNA and its photophysical properties have been investigated using various spectroscopic techniques. The circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of PyTMpyP bound to DNA (PyTMpyP-DNA) showed one negative and two positive bands in the Soret region. The CD signal in the pyrene absorption region was positive. The shape of the CD spectrum does not support an intercalative binding mode of TMpyP, which would typically afford a negative CD band in the absence of the pyrene moiety. Linear dichroism (LD) experiments revealed a very small signal in the Soret region, which also challenges the intercalation of TMpyP into DNA. Upon excitation of the pyrene moiety, the emission intensity of porphyrin in aqueous solution was quenched due to a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process between the pyrenyl and porphyrin moieties. On the other hand, the emission of porphyrin was markedly enhanced upon binding to DNA, as the PET process from the excited pyrene moiety to TMpyP was suppressed when bound to DNA. The PET process occurs in the timescale of 65 ps, and could be detected by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopic methods. Two fluorescence decay times were observed for PyTMpyP in aqueous solution (0.78 and 4.8 ns). Both decay times increased upon binding to DNA owing to environment and/or conformational changes in PyTMpyP. The driving force (ΔG) of the PET process was evaluated under conditions of minor and major groove binding. The PET process and photophysical properties of the PyTMpyP dyad were concluded to be influenced by the binding mode.

Abstract
In this work we have designed a new zinc(II) porphyrin with four spermines conjugate in the meso positions, meso-tetrakis-(4-carboxysperminephenyl)porphyrin, ZnTCPPSpm4) with the aim of acting as a chiroptical probe for the Z-form of DNA, a high energy transient conformation of DNA. In addition to monitor by Electronic Circular Dichroism chiroptical response the formation of Z-DNA in the presence of micromolar concentration of spermine, this porphyrin based molecular probe is also able to catalyze and stabilize this important DNA structure. The ZnTCPPSpm4 conjugate represents a perfect example of single molecule, which possesses all these three properties at the same time. The increased stability of Z-DNA in the presence of this derivative opens possibility for further studies on the mechanism of B- to Z-DNA transition, and on the design of new probes with improved efficiency.

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
We report the chiroptical signature and binding interactions of cationic (meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylptridyl)porphyrin, 2HT4) and anionic (meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin, 2HTPPS) porphyrins and their zinc(II) and nickel(II) derivatives (ZnT4, ZnTPPS, NiT4, and NiTPPS) with right-handed B-form and two forms of left-handed Z-form of alternating guanine-cytosine polydeoxynucleotide poly(dG-dC)2. NiTPPS is able to spectroscopically discriminate between spermine-induced Z-DNA and Co(III)-induced Z-DNA via new induced circular dichroism signal in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
