Abstract
We have proposed that DNA-mediated charge transport (CT) is gated by base motions, with only certain base conformations being CT-active; a CT-active conformation can be described as a domain, a transiently extended pi-orbital defined dynamically by DNA sequence. Here, to explore these CT-active conformations, we examine the yield of base-base CT between photoexcited 2-aminopurine (Ap*) and guanine in DNA in rigid LiCl glasses at 77 K, where conformational rearrangement is effectively eliminated. Duplex DNA assemblies (35-mers) were constructed containing adenine bridges Ap(A)nG (n = 0-4). The yield of CT was monitored through fluorescence quenching of Ap* by G. We find, first, that the emission intensity of Ap* in all DNA duplexes increases dramatically upon cooling and becomes comparable to free Ap*. This indicates that all quenching of Ap* in duplex DNA is a dynamic process that requires conformational motion of the DNA bases. Second, DNA-mediated CT between Ap* and G is not observed at 77 K; rather than hindering the ability of DNA to transport charge, conformational motion is required. Moreover, the lack of DNA-mediated CT at 77 K, even through the shortest bridge, suggests that the static structures adopted upon cooling do not represent optimum CT-active conformations. These observations are consistent with our model of conformationally gated CT. Through conformational motion of the DNA bases, CT-active domains form and break-up transiently, both facilitating and limiting CT.
