Abstract
This work describes the formation of a porphyrin (Por) dimer using a DNA duplex as a scaffold and photocurrent generation from electrodes modified with a monolayer of Por-DNA conjugates. The solid-phase click reaction between an azide-porphyrin and oligonucleotide labeled with an ethynyl group on CPG support was utilized to conjugate the Por to the DNA. UV/Vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectral studies revealed that the Por dimer can be formed through DNA hybridization and that through-space electronic interactions, characterized from the exciton-coupled absorption and the bisignate CD, can occur between the two Por molecules. Photoelectrochemical experiments were performed for the electrodes functionalized with a monolayer composed of the Por-DNA conjugates. It was found that the Por dimer on the electrode, which was designed to resemble the special pair in natural photosynthesis, shows efficient photocurrent generation in the presence of electron-acceptor reagents compared with the Por monomer. These findings strongly support the idea that the DNA structures could be useful to construct Por arrays, which is essential for the design of photo- and bio-electronic devices.

Abstract
The energy flow during natural photosynthesis is controlled by maintaining the spatial arrangement of pigments, employing helices as scaffolds. In this study, we have developed porphyrin-peptoid (pigment-helix) conjugates (PPCs) that can modulate the donor-acceptor energy transfer efficiency with exceptional precision by controlling the relative distance and orientation of the two pigments. Five donor-acceptor molecular dyads were constructed using zinc porphyrin and free base porphyrin (Zn(i + 2)–Zn(i + 6)), and highly efficient energy transfer was demonstrated with estimated efficiencies ranging from 92% to 96% measured by static fluorescence emission in CH2Cl2 and from 96.3% to 97.6% using femtosecond transient absorption measurements in toluene, depending on the relative spatial arrangement of the donor-acceptor pairs. Our results suggest that the remarkable precision and tunability exhibited by nature can be achieved by mimicking the design principles of natural photosynthetic proteins.

Abstract
![]()
DNA is well-known as bearer of the genetic code.
Since its structure
elucidation nearly seven decades ago by Watson, Crick, Wilkins, and
Franklin, much has been learned about its detailed structure, function,
and genetic coding. The development of automated solid-phase synthesis,
and with it the availability of synthetic DNA with any desired sequence
in lengths of up to hundreds of bases in the best case, has contributed
much to the advancement of the field of DNA research. In addition,
classic organic synthesis has allowed introduction of a very large
number of modifications in the DNA in a sequence specific manner,
which have initially been targeted at altering the biological function
of DNA. However, in recent years DNA has become a very attractive
scaffold in supramolecular chemistry, where DNA is taken out of its
biological role and serves as both stick and glue molecule to assemble
novel functional structures with nanometer precision. The attachment
of functionalities to DNA has led to the creation of supramolecular
systems with applications in light harvesting, energy and electron
transfer, sensing, and catalysis. Functional DNA is clearly having
a significant impact in the field of bioinspired nanosystems. Of particular interest is the use of porphyrins in supramolecular
chemistry and bionanotechnology, because they are excellent functional
groups due to their electronic properties that can be tailored through
chemical modifications of the aromatic core or through insertion of
almost any metal of the periodic table into the central cavity. The
porphyrins can be attached either to the nucleobase, to the phosphate
group, or to the ribose moiety. Additionally, noncovalent templating
through Watson–Crick base pairing forms an alternative and
attractive approach. With this, the combination of two seemingly simple
molecules gives rise to a highly complex system with unprecedented
possibilities for modulation of function, and with it applications,
particularly when combined with other functional groups. Here, an
overview is given on the developments of using porphyrin modified
DNA for the construction of functional assemblies. Strategies for
the synthesis and characterization are presented alongside selected
applications where the porphyrin modification has proven to be particularly
useful and superior to other modifiers but also has revealed its limitations.
We also discuss implications on properties and behavior of the porphyrin–DNA,
where similar issues could arise when using other hydrophobic and
bulky substituents on DNA. This includes particularly problems regarding
synthesis of the building blocks, DNA synthesis, yields, solubility,
and intermolecular interactions.

Abstract
A wide variety of organic dyes form, under certain conditions, clusters know as J- and H-aggregates. Cyanine dyes are such a class of molecules where the spatial proximity of several dyes leads to overlapping electron orbitals and thus to the creation of a new energy landscape compared to that of the individual units. In this work, we create artificial H-aggregates of exactly two Cyanine 3 (Cy3) dyes by covalently linking them to a DNA molecule with controlled subnanometer distances. The absorption spectra of these coupled systems exhibit a blue-shifted peak, whose intensity varies depending on the distance between the dyes and the rigidity of the DNA template. Simulated vibrational resolved spectra, based on molecular orbital theory, excellently reproduce the experimentally observed features. Circular dichroism spectroscopy additionally reveals distinct signals, which indicates a chiral arrangement of the dye molecules. Molecular dynamic simulations of a Cy3-Cy3 construct including a 14-base pair DNA sequence verified chiral stacking of the dye molecules.

Abstract
Porphyrins were attached to LNA uridine building blocks via rigid 5-acetylene or more flexible propargyl-amide linkers and incorporated into DNA strands. The systems show a greatly increased thermodynamic stability when using as little as three porphyrins in a zipper arrangement. Thermodynamic analysis reveals clustering of the strands into more ordered duplexes with both greater negative ΔΔS and ΔΔH values, and less ordered duplexes with small positive ΔΔS differences, depending on the combination of linkers used. The exciton coupling between the porphyrins is dependent on the flanking DNA sequence in the single stranded form, and on the nature of the linker between the nucleobase and the porphyrin in the double stranded form; it is, however, also strongly influenced by intermolecular interactions. This system is suitable for the formation of stable helical chromophore arrays with sequence and structure dependent exciton coupling.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis of terpyridine modified DNA strands which selectively form DNA nanotubes through orthogonal hydrogen bonding and metal complexation interactions. The short DNA strands are designed to self-assemble into long duplexes through a sticky-end approach. Addition of weakly binding metals such as Zn(II) and Ni(II) induces the formation of tubular arrays consisting of DNA bundles which are 50-200 nm wide and 2-50 nm high. TEM shows additional long distance ordering of the terpy-DNA complexes into fibers.

Abstract
A synthetic methodology for the synthesis of various β-pyrrolic-functionalised porphyrins and their covalent attachment to 2'-deoxyuridine and DNA is described. Palladium(0)-catalysed Sonogashira and copper(I)-catalysed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions were used to insert porphyrins into the structure of 2'-deoxyuridine and DNA. Insertion of a porphyrin into the middle of single-stranded CT oligonucleotides possessing a 5'-terminal run of four cytosines was shown to trigger the formation of pH- and temperature-dependent i-motif structures. Porphyrin insertion also led to the aggregation of single-stranded purine-pyrimidine sequences, which could be dissociated by heating at 90 °C for 5 min. Parallel triplexes and anti-parallel duplexes were formed in the presence of the appropriate complementary strand(s). Depending on the modification, porphyrins were placed in the major and minor grooves of duplexes and were used as bulged intercalating insertions in duplexes and triplexes. In general, the thermal stabilisation of parallel triplexes possessing porphyrin-modified triplex-forming oligonucleotide (TFO) strands was observed, whereas anti-parallel duplexes were destabilised. These results are compared and discussed on the basis of the results of molecular modelling calculations.

Abstract
A porphyrin-acetylide-modified GNA (glycol nucleic acid) phosphoramidite building block was synthesized in an economical fashion starting from (S)-glycidyl-4,4'- dimethoxytrityl ether in just 4 steps with an overall yield of 48%. The porphyrin acetylide nucleotide was incorporated into GNA duplexes opposite ethylene glycol abasic sites and the duplexes were analyzed by UV-melting, UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism. The modified GNA duplexes display lower thermal stabilities, however, the stabilities of the duplexes can be modulated by the incorporation of Zn(2+) (further destabilization) or Ni(2+) (stabilization relative to the uncomplexed porphyrin). Uncomplexed as well as Ni(2+)-coordinated porphyrins intercalate into the GNA duplex whereas Zn(2+)-coordinated porphyrins are most likely located outside the base stack. Adjacent porphyrins in opposite strands of GNA duplexes show an electronic interaction with each other which might be exploited in the future for the design of photoelectrical devices.

Abstract
A series of modified nucleosides based on thymidine have been prepared by Pd-catalysed cross-coupling between N-alkyl-alkynyl functionalised pyrrolyl- (py), 2-(2-thienyl)pyrrolyl- (tp) or 2,5-bis(2-thienyl)pyrrolyl (tpt) groups with 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine. The length of the alkyl chain linking the nucleoside and pyrrolyl-containing unit, N(CH(2))(n)C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-nucleoside (where n = 1-3) was also varied. The compounds have been characterised by (1)H NMR, ES-MS, UV-vis, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and, in some cases, single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Cyclic voltammetry studies demonstrated that all the py-, tp- and tpt-alkynyl derivatives 1-7 can be electrochemically polymerised to form conductive materials. It was found that increasing the N-alkyl chain length in these cases resulted in only minor changes in the oxidation potential. The same behaviour was observed for the tp- and tpt-modified nucleosides 9-12; however, the py-derivative, 8, produced a poorly conducting material. DFT calculations on the one-electron oxidised cation of the modified nucleosides bearing tp or tpt showed that spin density is located on the pyrrolyl and thienyl units in all cases and that the coplanarity of adjacent rings increases upon oxidation. In contrast, in the corresponding pyrrolyl cases the spin density is distributed over the whole molecule, suggesting that polymerisation does not occur solely at the pyrrolyl-Cα position and the conjugation is interrupted.

Abstract
A more flexible nucleotide building block for the synthesis of new DNA based porphyrin-zipper arrays is described. Changing the rigid acetylene linker between the porphyrin substituent and the 2'-deoxyuridine to a more flexible propargyl amide containing linkage leads in part to an increased duplex stability. The CD spectra reveal different electronic interactions between the porphyrins depending on the type of linker used. Molecular modelling suggests large variation of the relative orientation of the porphyrins within the major groove of the DNA. The porphyrins can be metallated post-synthetically with different metals as shown with zinc, cobalt and copper. The spectroscopic features do not alter drastically upon metallation apart from the CD spectra, and the stability of the metal complex is highly dependent on the nature of the metal. As shown by CD spectroscopy, the zinc porphyrin is rapidly demetallated at high temperatures. Globular structure determination using SAXS indicates that a molecular assembly comprised of a two to four helical bundle dominates in solution at higher concentrations (≥50 μM) which is not observed by spectroscopy at lower concentrations (≤1 μM).

Abstract
We have synthesized and studied a supramolecular system comprising a 39-mer DNA with porphyrin-modified thymidine nucleosides anchored to the surface of large unilamellar vesicles (liposomes). Liposome porphyrin binding characteristics, such as orientation, strength, homogeneity, and binding site size, was determined, suggesting that the porphyrin is well suited as a photophysical and redox-active lipid anchor, in comparison to the inert cholesterol anchor commonly used today. Furthermore, the binding characteristics and hybridization capabilities were studied as a function of anchor size and number of anchoring points, properties that are of importance for our future plans to use the addressability of these redox-active nodes in larger DNA-based nanoconstructs. Electron transfer from photoexcited porphyrin to a lipophilic benzoquinone residing in the lipid membrane was characterized by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence and verified by femtosecond transient absorption.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides have recently gained increased attraction as a supramolecular scaffold for the design and synthesis of functional molecules on the nanometre scale. This tutorial review focuses on the recent progress in this highly active field of research with an emphasis on covalent modifications of DNA; non-covalent interactions of DNA with molecules such as groove binders or intercalators are not part of this review. Both terminal and internal modifications are covered, and the various points of attachment (nucleobase, sugar moiety or phosphodiester backbone) are compared. Using selected examples of the recent literature, the diversity of the functionalities that have been incorporated into DNA strands is discussed.

Abstract
Due to its self-assembling nature, DNA is undoubtedly an excellent molecule for the creation of various multidimensional nanostructures and the placement of functional molecules and materials. DNA molecules behave according to the programs of their sequences. Mixtures of numbers of DNA molecules can be placed precisely and organized into single structures to form nanoarchitectures. Once the appropriate sequences for the target nanostructure are established, the predesigned structure can be built up by self-assembly of the designed DNA strands. DNA nanotechnology has already reached the stage at which the organization of desired functional molecules and nanomaterials can be programmed on a defined DNA scaffold. In this review, we will focus on DNA nanotechnology and describe the potential of synthetic chemistry to contribute to the further development of DNA nanomaterials.

Abstract
The rational formation of aromatic chromophore arrays is an intriguing challenge since ordered collectives of chromophores possess properties that are largely different from those of the individual molecules. Therefore, nucleic acids are increasingly used as scaffolds for the construction of multi-chromophore arrays. This tutorial review provides an introduction to the field of nucleic acid-guided chromophore assemblies for non-specialists and a reference point for those familiar with the area by highlighting the recent developments and describing some of the spectroscopic methods used for the study of oligonucleotide-chromophore conjugates.
