在所有DNA碱基中, 鸟嘌呤碱基G具有最低的氧化电位, 导致其最容易被氧化. G碱基被单电子氧化成为G正离子自由基(G), G存在两个脱质子位点, 其中脱嘧啶环上亚氨基质子N1-H比脱环外氨基质子N2-H更有利, 因而在普通G碱基中研究脱N2-H的过程无法排除脱N1-H过程的干扰, 使得其脱N2-H的动力学迄今尚不明确. 在本文中, 通过将G碱基上的N1-H用CH3取代(即mG), 采用纳秒时间分辨瞬态紫外可见吸收光谱方法研究了mG碱基单电子氧化后脱质子N2-H的动力学. 根据瞬态紫外可见吸收光谱, 确定了mG脱质子的产物是mG(N2-H)·, 即脱质子的位点是N2-H. 进一步通过测量mG(N2-H)·的生成速率常数与mG的浓度依赖关系, 得到室温下SO4单电子氧化mG生成 mG的速率常数为(3.7±0.1)×109 L·mol-1·s-1以及 mG脱N2-H的速率常数为(7.1±0.2)×106 s-1. 并通过检测不同温度下mG脱N2-H的速率常数, 利用阿仑尼乌斯方程得出脱质子N2-H的活化能为19.9±1.0 kJ·mol-1. 这些结果可为DNA碱基的氧化损伤过程提供更为丰富的动力学信息.

Among the four natural DNA bases, guanine (G) is the most sensitive to oxidation due to its lowest oxidation potential. When G base is oxidized to guanine cation radical (G), it will deprotonate from both the imino proton N1-H and the amino proton N2-H. According to the pKa values for N1-H and N2-H deprotonation, the main deprotonation site in G base is N1-H which would interfere with the N2-H deprotonation, making the kinetics of N2-H deprotonation difficult to be measured. Herein, the N2-H deprotonation kinetics is investigated using 1-methylguanosine (mG), where N1-H is substituted by methyl group to avoid the N1-H deprotonation and N9-H is substituted by ribose to ensure enough solubility of methylguanine in water, by nanosecond transient absorption (ns-TA) spectroscopy. By 355 nm photolysis of Na2S2O8, the highly oxidizing radical SO4 is generated, which will oxidize mG to mG instantaneously. The time-resolved absorption spectra obtained for reaction of mG with SO4 exhibits transient absorptions for mG(N2-H)· featured by absorption band at 600 nm, indicating that the mG deprotonation product is mG(N2-H)· and the deprotonation site is therefore validated to be N2-H. The mG concentration dependence of mG(N2-H)· formation rate constant is assessed through changing the mG concentration from 0.25 mmol·L-1 to 5 mmol·L-1. The concentration dependence experiment reveals that the rate-limiting step to form mG(N2-H)· is the bimolecular reaction of mG with SO4 when mG concentration is lower than 2 mmol·L-1 and the bimolecular reaction rate constant to form mG is (3.7±0.1)×109 L·mol-1·s-1; when mG concentration is above 2 mmol·L-1, the rate-limiting step to form mG(N2-H)· is the first-order mG deprotonation and the N2-H deprotonation rate constant is (7.1±0.2)×106 s-1. Furthermore, the N2-H deprotonation rate constant is measured at different temperatures varying from 278 K to 298 K. According to Arrhenius equation, the activation energy barrier for the N2-H deprotonation is determined to be 19.9±1.0 kJ· mol-1. These results can provide valuable kinetic information on the oxidative damage of DNA.
