Abstract
The modulation of excess electron transfer (EET) within DNA containing a dimethylaminopyrene (C-AP) as an electron donor and 5-bromouracil (Br dU) as an electron acceptor through phenanthrenyl pairs (phen-R) could be achieved by modifying the phenanthrenyl base surrogates with electron withdrawing and donating groups. Arranging the phenanthrenyl units to form a descending LUMO gradient increased the EET efficiency compared to the electron transfer through uniform LUMOs or an ascending LUMO gradient.

Abstract
The C-nucleoside based on the hydroxyquinoline ligand (Hq) is complementary to itself and forms stable Hq-Hq pairs in double-stranded DNA. These artificial Hq-Hq pairs may serve as artificial electron carriers for long-range photoinduced electron transfer in DNA, as elucidated by a combination of gel electrophoretic analysis of irradiated samples and time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. For this study, the Hq-Hq pair was combined with a DNA-based donor-acceptor system consisting of 6-N,N-dimethylaminopyrene conjugated to 2'-deoxyuridine as photoinducible electron donor, and methyl viologen attached to the 2'-position of uridine as electron acceptor. The Hq radical anion was identified in the time-resolved measurements and strand cleavage products support its role as an intermediate charge carrier. Hence, the Hq-Hq pair significantly enhances the electron hopping capability of DNA compared to natural DNA bases over long distances while keeping the self-assembly properties as the most attractive feature of DNA as a supramolecular architecture.

Abstract
To investigate the parameters and rates that determine excess-electron transfer processes in DNA duplexes, we developed a DNA double-duplex system containing a reduced and deprotonated flavin donor at the junction of two duplexes with either the same or different electron acceptors in the individual duplex substructures. This model system allows us to bring the two electron acceptors in the duplex substructures into direct competition for injected electrons and this enables us to decipher how the kind of acceptor influences the transfer data. Measurements with the electron acceptors 8-bromo-dA (BrdA), 8-bromo-dG (BrdG), 5-bromo-dU (BrdU), and a cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer, which is a UV-induced DNA lesion, allowed us to obtain directly the maximum overall reaction rates of these acceptors and especially of the T=T dimer with the injected electrons in the duplex. In line with previous observations, we detected that the overall dimer cleavage rate is about one order of magnitude slower than the debromination of BrdU. Furthermore, we present a more detailed explanation of why sequence dependence cannot be observed when a T=T dimer is used as the acceptor and we estimate the absolute excess-electron hopping rates.

Abstract
Naphthalene-modified oligonucleotides have been synthesized and characterized with respect to electron transfer chemistry. Using the Sonogashira coupling reaction, naphthalene can be covalently anchored onto a modified uridine through an ethynyl linkage. This tethering allows for effective electronic coupling with the DNA bases, resulting in a significant red shift of the absorption bands of the naphthalenic chromophore. Modification with this chromophore does not appear to affect the overall stability and structure of the DNA. Upon selective irradiation of the naphthalene moiety at 340 nm, photoreduction of a distal electron trap, 5-bromouridine, embedded in the DNA base stack occurs. This DNA-mediated reduction from a distance was found to be significantly more efficient with substitution of 5-bromouridine toward the 5'-end than toward the 3'-end. These results support a general preference for electron transfer through DNA toward the 5'-end, irrespective of the donor. In addition, differences in efficiency of photoreduction through intrastrand and interstrand pathways are observed. For DNA-mediated reduction, as with DNA-mediated oxidation, significant differences in the charge transfer reaction are apparent that depend upon subtle differences in coupling into the DNA base stack.
