In this manuscript a multitechnique approach is proposed to characterize the interaction between new tri-N-methylpyridyl corrole (TMPC) and its germanium(IV) derivative (GeTMPC), with single- and double-stranded nucleic acid homopolymers and calf thymus DNA The specificity of each spectroscopic technique has been exploited to analyze the different aspects of corrole binding. Noteworthy, this approach allows us to distinguish between H aggregation of TMPC in the presence of polyriboadenilic acid (poly(rA)) and J aggregates in the presence of polyribocytidinic acid (poly(rC)) as well as to identify the formation of GeTMPC dimers in the presence of single-stranded poly(rA) and pseudointercalation with single-stranded poly(rC).

Abstract
In this manuscript a multitechnique approach is proposed to characterize the interaction between new tri-N-methylpyridyl corrole (TMPC) and its germanium(IV) derivative (GeTMPC), with single- and double-stranded nucleic acid homopolymers and calf thymus DNA The specificity of each spectroscopic technique has been exploited to analyze the different aspects of corrole binding. Noteworthy, this approach allows us to distinguish between H aggregation of TMPC in the presence of polyriboadenilic acid (poly(rA)) and J aggregates in the presence of polyribocytidinic acid (poly(rC)) as well as to identify the formation of GeTMPC dimers in the presence of single-stranded poly(rA) and pseudointercalation with single-stranded poly(rC).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
