Abstract

Eine tiefe Falle für Löcher ist nach zeitaufgelöster Transienten-Absorptionsspektroskopie und Kinetikmodellierung 7-Desazaguanin (Z) beim Lochtransport in DNA von einer Guanin(G)- zu einer Z-Base über ein oder zwei dazwischen liegende Adenin-Thymin-Basenpaare. Die Gibbs-Energie des Lochtransports von G zu Z beträgt −0.19 eV und ist somit erheblich größer als für GG- oder GGG-Stellen. Damit verhindert Z effektiv die Ladungswanderung in DNA.
