Doxorubicin (DOX) is an important anthracycline antibiotic whose intricate features of binding to DNAs, not yet fully understood, have been the object intense debate. The dimerization equilibrium has studied at pH = 7.0, I 2.5 mM, and T 25 °C. A thermodynamic kinetic study doxorubicin DNA, carried out by circular dichroism, viscometry, differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence, isothermal titration T-jump relaxation measurements, enabled us characterize for first time two different...

Abstract Subnanometric samples, containing exclusively Ag 2 and 3 clusters, were synthesized for the first time by kinetic control using an electrochemical technique without use of surfactants or capping agents. By combination thermodynamic measurements theoretical calculations, we show herein that clusters interact with DNA through intercalation, inducing significant structural distortion to DNA. The lifetime in intercalated position is two three orders magnitude longer than classical...
This work presents a theoretical study of acetohydroxamic acid and its protonation processes using ab initio methodology at the MP2(FC)/cc-pdVZ level. We find amide form more stable than imidic tautomer by less 1.0 kcal mol(-)(1). For comparison with experimental data, three-dimensional conformational is performed on most (amide). From this study, different barriers to rotation inversion are determined intramolecular hydrogen bond between OH group carbonyl oxygen characterized. The...
