Abstract

The degree of acidification of the exocyclic N6 amino group of the model nucleobase 9-methyladenine (9MeA) in relation to the number and site(s) of Pt(II) binding has been studied in detail. It is found that twofold Pt(II) binding to N1 and N7 lowers the pK(a) value from 16.7 in the free base to 12-8. The lowest pK(a) values are observed when the resulting N6H(-) amide group is intramolecularly stabilized by an H-bond donor such as the N6H(2) group of a suitably positioned second 9MeA ligand. Deprotonation of the N6 amino group facilitates Pt migration from N1 to N6, and subsequent reprotonation of the N1 position yields a twofold N7,N6-metalated form of the rare imino tautomer of 9MeA, which has a pK(a) value of 5.03. These findings demonstrate a principle that is of potential relevance to the topic of "shifted pK(a)" values of adenine nucleobases, which is believed to be important with regard to acid-base catalysis of RNAs at physiological pH values. The principle states that a nucleobase pK(a) value can be sufficiently lowered to reach near-neutral values and that the pK(a) value of the protonated base does not necessarily have to be increased to accomplish this effect.
