Padua Research Archive, l’archivio istituzionale della produzione scientifica dell’Università degli Studi di Padova, ha lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare, conservare e pubblicare, anche ad accesso aperto, i prodotti della ricerca dell’Ateneo. Padua Research Archive utilizza la piattaforma IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) sviluppata da Cineca.
EnglishThe interactions between 2 angular pyranocoumarins and DNA have been studied in both ground and excited states. The compounds are able to intercalate inside DNA in a non-covalent manner and, under UV-A irradiation, to photobind covalently, forming pyran-side monoadducts and cross-links. The crystal structure of 4,6-dimethylpyranocoumarin was determined by X-ray diffraction techniques, and molecular arrangements in both ground and excited (singlet and triplet) states were calculated by the MNDO method. Results are discussed in terms of intercalation in the ground state, as shown by linear dichroism measurements, and covalent photobinding to pyrimidine bases of DNA under UV-A excitation.
