- W2892286734 abstract "The intrinsic photostability of nucleic acids is intimately related to evolution of life, while its understanding at the molecular and electronic levels remains a challenge for modern science. Among the different decay pathways proposed in the last two decades, the excited-state hydrogen transfer between guanine-cytosine base pairs has been identified as an efficient non-reactive channel to dissipate the excess of energy provided by light absorption. The present work studies the dynamics of such phenomena taking place in a (dG)·(dC) B-DNA homopolymer in water solution using state-of-the-art molecular modelling and simulation methods. A dynamic effect that boosts the photostability of the inter-strand hydrogen atom transfers, inherent to the Watson-Crick base pairing, is unveiled and ascribed to the energy released during the proton transfer step. Our results also reveal a novel mechanism of DNA decay named four proton transfer (FPT), in which two protons of two adjacent G-C base pairs are transferred to form a biradical zwitterionic intermediate. Decay of the latter intermediate to the ground state triggers the transfer of the protons back to the guanine molecules recovering the Watson-Crick structure of the tetramer. This FPT process is activated by the close interaction of a nearby Na+ counterion with the oxygen atoms of the guanine nucleobases and hence represents a photostable channel operative in natural nucleic acids." @default.
