UV‐Induced Charge‐Transfer States in Short Guanosine‐Containing DNA Oligonucleotides
Abstract: Charge transfer has proven to be an important mechanism in DNA photochemistry. In particular, guanine (dG) plays a major role as an electron donor, but the photophysical dynamics of dG‐containing charge‐transfer states have not been extensively investigated so far. Here, we use UV pump (266 nm) and picosecond IR probe (∼5–7 μm) spectroscopy to study ultrafast dynamics in dG‐containing short oligonucleotides as a function of sequence and length. For the pure purine oligomers, we observed lifetimes for the charge‐transfer states of the order of several hundreds of picoseconds, regardless of the oligonucleotide length. In contrast, pyrimidine‐containing dinucleotides d (GT) and d (GC) show much faster relaxation dynamics in the 10 to 30 ps range. In all studied nucleotides, the charge‐transfer states are formed with an efficiency of the order of ∼50 %. These photophysical characteristics will lead to an improved understanding of DNA damage and repair processes.
