Popis: The influence of the distance between the an- choring site of the tethered (Ru(TAP)2dip) 2+ complex (TAP=1,4,5,8-tetraazaphenanthrene; dip=4,7-diphe- nyl-1,10-phenanthroline) on a probe sequence and the guanines of the complementary target strand was stud- ied by (1) the luminescence quenching of the complex (by electron transfer) and (2) the oligodeoxyribonu- cleotide adduct (ODN adduct) formation which results in photo-crosslinking of the two strands. Moving the guanine moieties away from the complex induces an important decrease of the efficiency of both processes, but clearly affects the ODN adduct formation more specifically than the quenching process. From these re- sults, we determined the positions of the guanine bases in the duplex ODN that are able to form a photo-adduct with the tethered complex. We also examined the pos- sible competition between a long-range hole migration in the duplex ODN and the formation of a photo-adduct by using a sequence labeled with the complex at the 5¢- phosphate end. Such a hole migration appears to be inefficient as compared to the ODN adduct formation. Finally, we studied the influence of the photo-cross- linking on the function of two different DNA polyme- rases. A 17-mer Ru(II)-labeled ODN was hybridized to its complementary sequence located on the 5¢-side of a 40-mer matrix. After illumination, the elongation of a 13-mer DNA primer hybridized to the 3¢-extremity of the same matrix was stopped at a position correspond- ing to the formation of the ODN adduct.
