Abstract
The complexation of ferrocenium salts (with various anions) with an oligonucleotide (CCACGAGCTCCCACATGGT, OL) was studied using a combination of electrochemical (CVA) and spectral (UV-vis and CD spectroscopy) methods. It has been shown that varying the nature of the counteranion has virtually no effect on the binding constant to ferrocenium. However, the counterion can alter the secondary structure of the oligonucleotide, which may open a way to tune the biological activity of the ferrocenium cation.
期刊介绍:
Biological inorganic chemistry is a growing field of science that embraces the principles of biology and inorganic chemistry and impacts other fields ranging from medicine to the environment. JBIC (Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry) seeks to promote this field internationally. The Journal is primarily concerned with advances in understanding the role of metal ions within a biological matrix—be it a protein, DNA/RNA, or a cell, as well as appropriate model studies. Manuscripts describing high-quality original research on the above topics in English are invited for submission to this Journal. The Journal publishes original articles, minireviews, and commentaries on debated issues.
