Using UV-vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies, we explored the binding interactions of 3,3'-diethylthiatricarbocyanine iodide (Cy7) with polynucleotides of different sequences and helicity. CD showed to be a very diagnostic tool giving different spectroscopic chiroptical signatures for all explored DNA sequences upon Cy7 binding. Cy7 was able to spectroscopically discriminate between the right handed B-DNA of poly(dG-dC)(2) and its left handed Z-DNA counterpart induced by spermine or Co(III)hexamine via nearly opposite induced circular dichroic signal.
利用紫外可见吸收光谱和圆二色(CD)光谱,我们研究了3,3'-二乙基硫代三碳菁碘化物(Cy7)与不同序列和螺旋结构的多核苷酸之间的结合相互作用。CD显示出是一种非常有诊断价值的工具,在Cy7结合后,对于所有研究的DNA序列都给出了不同的光谱手性光学特征。Cy7能够通过几乎相反的诱导圆二色信号,在光谱上区分聚(dG-dC)(2)的右手B-DNA及其由精胺或六胺钴(III)诱导的左手Z-DNA对应物。
