Electron-transfer state of 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion with a much longer lifetime and higher energy than that of the natural photosynthetic reaction center.

We have successfully achieved the electron-transfer (ET) state of 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion, produced by a single step photoinduced electron transfer, which has a much longer lifetime (e.g., 2 h at 203 K) and higher energy (2.37 eV) than that of the natural system without loss of energy due to multistep electron-transfer processes.

Multiple hydrogen bonds tuning guest/host excited-state proton transfer reaction: its application in molecular recognition.

A molecular recognition concept exploiting multiple-hydrogen-bond fine-tuned excited-state proton-transfer (ESPT) was conveyed using 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrobis(pyrido[3,2-g]indolo)[2,3-a:3',2'-j]acridine (1a). The catalytic type 1a/carboxylic acids hydrogen-bonding (HB) complexes undergo ultrafast ESPT, resulting in an anomalously large Stokes shifted tautomer emission (lambdamax approximately 600 nm). Albeit forming a quadruple HB complex, ESPT is prohibited in the noncatalytic-type 1a/urea complexes (lambdamax approximately 430 nm). The HB configuration tuning ESPT properties lead to a feasible design for sensing multiple-HB-site analytes of biological interest.

Selective activation of two sites in RNA by acridine-bearing oligonucleotides for clipping of designated RNA fragments.

Artificial enzymes for selective scission of RNA at two designated sites, which are valuable for advanced RNA science, have been prepared by combining lanthanide(III) ion with an oligonucleotide bearing two acridine groups. When these modified oligonucleotides form heteroduplexes with substrate RNA, the two phosphodiester linkages in front of the acridines are selectively activated and preferentially hydrolyzed by lanthanide ion. This two-site RNA scission does not require any specific RNA sequence at the scission sites, and the length of clipped RNA fragment is easily and precisely controllable by changing the distance between two acridine groups in the modified oligonucleotide. The two-site scission is also successful even when the substrate RNA has higher-order structures. By using these two-site RNA cutters, RNA fragments of predetermined length were obtained from long RNA substrates and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Single nucleotide polymorphisms in homozygous and heterozygous samples were accurately and easily detected in terms of the difference in mass number. Multiplex analyses of in vitro transcripts from human genome were also successful.
