Abstract
The model study of zinc enzyme by Zn2+–cyclen complexes (cyclen = 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane) disclosed the intrinsic properties of zinc(II) as having strong anion affinities and yet the resulting Zn2+–anion bonds have a labile nature. The basic understanding has evolved into novel selective nucleobase recognition by the Zn2+–cyclen complexes. The Zn2+–aromatic pendant cyclen complexes selectively and effectively bind to thymine T (or uracil U) in single- and double-stranded DNA (or RNA). The Zn2+ complexes work like molecular zippers to break A–T pairs in double-stranded DNA, as proven by various physicochemical and DNA footprinting measurements. Moreover, these Zn2+–complexes affect relevant biochemical and ultimately biological properties such as inhibition of a transcriptional factor and antimicrobial activities.
