  • photochemical control of dna structure through radical disproportionation
    ChemInform, 2014
    Co-Authors: Joanna Maria San N Pedro, Marc M Greenberg
    Abstract:

    An Aryl Sulfide-containing 5,6-dihydropyrimidine (I) is irradiated at 350 nm and gives thymidine and trapping by-products.

  • photochemical control of dna structure through radical disproportionation
    ChemBioChem, 2013
    Co-Authors: Joanna Maria San N Pedro, Marc M Greenberg
    Abstract:

    : Photolysis of an Aryl Sulfide-containing 5,6-dihydropyrimidine (1) at 350 nm produces high yields of thymidine and products resulting from trapping of a 5,6-dihydrothymidin-5-yl radical by O₂ or thiols. Thymidine is believed to result from disproportionation of the radical pair originally generated from C--S bond homolysis of 1 on the microsecond timescale, which is significantly shorter than other photochemical transformations of modified nucleotides into their native forms. Duplex DNA containing 1 is destabilized, presumably due to disruption of π-stacking. Incorporation of 1 within the binding site of the restriction endonuclease EcoRV provides a photochemical switch for turning on the enzyme's activity. In contrast, 1 is a substrate for endonuclease VIII and serves as a photochemical off switch for this base excision repair enzyme. Modification 1 also modulates the activity of the 10-23 DNAzyme, despite its incorporation into a nonduplex region. Overall, dihydropyrimidine 1 shows promise as a tool to provide spatiotemporal control over DNA structure on the miscrosecond timescale.
