dc.description.abstractThe interaction between chromium ions and DNA is of great interest in inorganic chemistry, toxicology, and analytical chemistry. Most previous studies focused on in situ reduction of Cr(VI), producing Cr3+ for DNA binding. Recently, Cr3+ was reported to activate the Cel3d DNAzyme for RNA cleavage. Herein, the Ce13d is used to study two types of Cr3+ and DNA interactions. First, Cr3+ binds to the DNA phosphate backbone weakly through reversible electrostatic interactions, which is weakened by adding competing inorganic phosphate. However, Cr3+ coordinates with DNA nucleobases forming stable cross-links that can survive denaturing gel electrophoresis condition. The binding of Cr3+ to different nucleobases was further studied in terms of binding kinetics and affinity by exploiting carboxyfluorescein-labeled DNA homopolymers. Once binding takes place, the stable Cr3+/DNA complex cannot be dissociated by EDTA, attributable to the ultraslow ligand exchange rate of Cr3+. The binding rate follows the order of G > C > T approximate to A. Finally, Cr3+ gradually loses its DNA binding ability after being stored at neutral or high pH, attributable to hydrolysis. This hydrolysis can be reversed by lowering the pH. This work provides a deeper insight into the bioinorganic chemistry Of Cr3+ coordination with DNA, clarifies some inconsistency in the previous literature, and offers practically useful information for generating reproducible results.en
