Insulator Base Pairs for Lighting‐up Perylenediimide in a DNA Duplex

Abstract: Quenched: Perylenediimide (PDI) is highly quenched by nucleobases, which greatly restricts its application as a fluorescent probe. Here, we propose "insulator base pairs" tethering cyclohexane ring through D-threoninol. When "insulator base pairs" were inserted between PDI and nucleobases, the quantum yield of PDI drastically increased several thousand-fold. The "insulator base pairs" reported here also have the potential to increase the quantum yields of other fluorophores.

“…Inspired by this interaction we decided to study the possible formation of glucosenucleobase pairs.S ince monosaccharides can stack on DNA bases and possess OH groups capable of making hydrogen bonds at the edge of their coinlike structure,like natural bases (Figure 2a), we placed ap otential glucose-nucleobase pair inside aD NA double helix to investigate its properties ( Figure 2b). [6] Glucose (glc) was linked to the phosphodiester backbone of DNAt hrough af lexible glycerol linker through its anomeric position.

“…However another polyaromatic molecule, perylene, is currently an object of increasing interest as a highly sensitive dye to measure local microenvironment changes within nucleic acids, e.g. those caused by hybridization [20][21][22] . Fluorescence of perylene is typically observed at 450-500 nm and its excited lifetime is relatively short (4-5 ns) while the fluorescence quantum yield is very high (0.5-1.0) 23 .…”

“…Wesentlich für diese Anwendung dürfte die Tatsache sein, dass die Molekülgrçße eines PBI in etwa derjenigen eines Basenpaares entspricht, und dass es somit auch eine ähnlich starke p-p-Wechselwirkung zu benachbarten Basenpaaren in DNA aufweisen dürfte. [87] Ein zweiter Ansatz basiert auf der Einführung elektronenschiebender Substituenten in die PBI-Buchtpositionen. Damit dies auch in einer internen Position mçglich ist, muss an entsprechender Stelle im Gegenstrang ein basenfreies 2'-Desoxyribofuranosid-Derivat eingebaut sein.…”
