Ru–TAP complexes and DNA: from photo-induced electron transfer to gene photo-silencing in living cells

Abstract: In this review, examples of applications of the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process between photo-oxidizing Ru-TAP (TAP = 1,4,5,8-tetraazaphenanthrene) complexes and DNA or oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) are discussed. Applications using a free Ru-TAP complex (not chemically anchored to an ODN) are first considered. In this case, the PET gives rise to the production of an irreversible adduct of the Ru complex on a guanine (G) base, with formation of a covalent bond. After absorption of a second photon, … Show more

“…70 %), the yields of the interstrand adducts are diminished in the DS topology (40 and 13 %) relative to those of the three previous cases, as anticipated (Table 2, Entries 4–5 and Figure 5). With Ru‐5G6C, the yield of the interstrand adduct is especially low because the G position in the complementary strand corresponds to the longest distance or limit distance reachable by the linker 17,18. Interestingly, even with this lower yield of interstrand adduct, no intrastrand adduct is formed in the DS topology.…”

“…The photoreactivity of the first three Ru–ODNs (Table 1, Entries 1–3) was first tested. The common characteristic of these three sequences is the presence of three G bases at the 3‐, 4‐, and 6‐positions of the complementary target strand; the other G bases at the 8‐, 9‐, 12‐, 13‐, and 14‐positions of the target strand cannot be reached by the tethered complex in the double strand (DS) topology owing to the restricted length of the linker 17,18. The three probe sequences differ by their number of G bases; they have either no G bases (Ru‐0G) or one G base.…”
