Gas phase interaction of zinc ion with purine and pyrimidine DNA and RNA bases

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The interaction of uracil, thymine, cytosine, adenine, and guanine with zinc ion was studied at the density functional B3LYP/6-311ϩG(2df,2p) level. Different binding sites allowing both mono-metal and bi-metal coordination were considered for the different low-lying tautomers of nucleic acid bases. Zinc ion forms stable compounds with all nucleobases. Except for cytosine, mono-coordination appears to be less favored than bi-coordination in the other pyrimidines. Instead, the preferred sites in the cas… Show more

“…Zinc is one of the most abundant transition metals which is found in cytoplasm, and has a role in regulating genes 29. 30 Marino et al31 studied the interaction of zinc ion with purine and pyrimidine bases in the gas phase using DFT calculations. In the thymine and uracil cases, the lowest‐energy complexes are again bicoordinate rather than monocoordinate, and Zn 2+ is ligated by deprotonated N3 and the adjacent oxygen atom O4.…”

“…Location shift (N1, O2, N3, and O4) for a hydrogen (H1 or H2) of T1 can create different rare tautomers (such as T3o4l, T3o4r, and T1o41 in Scheme ), which may cause base mispairing and spontaneous point mutations. The relative stability for T1 and its rare tautomers are influenced by the surrounding environment, such as solvent solution and interaction with metal ions, which received extensive attentions theoretically and experimentally. For example, Russo et al .…”

“…Our purpose in this paper is not to analyze the small interactions, but to point out their noticeable weaknesses in these complexes. In fact, when two basic centers are near the metal, its association is favored as bi‐coordinate fashion as was found in zinc interactions with guanine, cytosine, and adenine 32. In the case of oxazolidine, the lone pairs of oxygen at position 1 are in resonance with the carbonyl group attached to position 2′ which markedly decreases its interaction with the incoming metal.…”
