摘要
RNA oligomers having multiple (2 to 4) pyrenylmethyl substituents at the 2'-O-sugar residues were synthesized. UV-melting studies showed that the pyrene-modified RNAs could form duplexes with complementary RNA sequences without loss of thermal stability. Absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism (CD) spectra revealed that the incorporated pyrenes projected toward the outside of A-form RNA duplexes and assembled in helical aromatic arrays along the minor grooves of the RNA duplexes. Results of computer simulations agreed with the assembled structures of the pyrenes. The helical pyrene arrays exhibited remarkably strong excimer fluorescence, which was dependent on the sequence contexts of RNA duplexes.
