Abstract
Based on [L2Ru{DPPZ(11–11′)DPPZ}RuL2]4+ (where L = 1,10-phenanthroline or 2,2′-bipyridyl, DPPZ(11–11′)DPPZ = 11,11′-bi(dipyrido-[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]-phenazinyl)), a heterodinuclear (Ru,Co) metal polypyridyl complex [(phen)2Ru{DPPZ(11–11′)DPPZ}Co(phen)2]5+ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been designed and synthesized. A comparative study on the interaction of the complex with calf thymus DNA and yeast tRNA was investigated by UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and viscosity measurements, as well as equilibrium dialysis and circular dichroism. The antitumour activities of the complex were evaluated by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetraazolium bromide method and Giemsa staining experiment. These results indicate that the configuration and structures of nucleic acids have significant effects on the binding behaviours of metal complexes. Furthermore, the complex shows different antitumour activities against selected tumour cell lines, and can cause cell apoptosis.

Abstract
The promising antitumor activity of dirhodium complexes has been known for over 30 years. There remains, however, a general lack of understanding of their activity in cellulo. In this study, we report the DNA interactions and activity in living cells of six monosubstituted dirhodium(II,II) complexes of general formula [Rh(2)(mu-O(2)CCH(3))(2)(eta(1)-O(2)CCH(3))(L)(CH(3)OH)](+), where L = bpy (2,2'-bipyridine) (1), phen (1,10-phenanthroline) (2), dpq (dipyrido[3,2-f:2',3'-h]quinoxaline) (3), dppz (dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) (4), dppn (benzo[i]dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) (5), and dap (4,7-dihydrodibenzo[de,gh][1,10]phenanthroline) (6). DNA interactions were investigated by UV/visible spectroscopy, relative viscosity measurements, and electrophoretic mobility shift assay. These measurements indicate that compound 5 exhibits the strongest interaction with DNA. Compound 5 also causes the most damage to DNA after cellular internalization, as evaluated by the alkaline comet assay. Compound 5, however, is not the most effective at inhibiting cell viability of the human cancer cells HeLa and COLO-316. The greater hydrophobicity of 5 as compared to that of 4, which is the most effective compound in the series, hinders its ability to reach its cellular target(s). Data from modulation studies of glutathione using N-acetylcysteine and L-buthionine-sulfoximine indicate that changes in glutathione levels do not affect the activity of these particular dirhodium complexes. These results suggest that glutathione is not the only agent involved in the deactivation of these dirhodium complexes.

Abstract
The unsymmetrical cyanine dyes BOXTO (4-[6-(benzoxazole-2-yl-(3-methyl-)-2,3-dihydro-(benzo-1,3-thiazole)-2- methylidene)]-1-methyl-quinolinium chloride)and its positive divalent derivative BOXTO-PRO (4-[(3-methyl-6-(benzoxazole-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-(benzo-1,3-thiazole)-2-methylidene)]-1-(3-trimethylammonium-propyl)-quinolinium dibromide) were studied as real-time PCR reporting fluorescent dyes and compared to SYBR GREEN I (SG)(2-[N- (3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-propylamino] -4-[2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-(benzo-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-methylidene]-1-phenyl- quinolinium).Unmodified BOXTO showed no inhibitory effects on real-time PCR,while BOXTO-PRO showed complete inhibition. Sufficient fluorescent signal was acquired when 0.5-1.0 meu M BOXTO was used with RotorGene and iCycler platforms.Statistical analysis showed that there is no significant difference between the efficiency and dynamic range of BOXTO and SG.BOXTO stock solution (1.5 mM) was stable at -20 degree C for more than one year and 40 meu M BOXTO solution was more stable than 5x SG when both were stored at 4 degree C for 45 days.

Abstract
Asymmetric cyanine dyes bind to the minor groove of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) owing to their crescent configuration; therefore, these dyes are widely used as a dsDNA probes. BOXTO-MEE is derived from BOXTO by adding the polar methoxyethoxyethyl tail in order to increase solubility, dissociation rate kinetics, and stability. As a result, BOXTO-MEE showed significant reduction in nonspecific amplification (primer dimers) without significant effect on target sequence amplification, PCR efficiency, and standard curve correlation coefficient. BETIBO is another example of an asymmetric cyanine dye that can binds to dsDNA but is less efficient than BOXTO-MEE for use in real-time PCR. Statistical analysis of reproducibility results shows that BETIBO is not strong enough to be used for quantifying low nucleic acid quantities. Statistical analysis for BOXTO-MEE results shows that there is no significant difference between the efficiency and correlation coefficient achieved by BOXTO-MEE and SYBR Green I, but a significant difference in the dynamic range is observed because BOXTO-MEE has a wider dynamic range. BOXTO-MEE stock solution was stable at -20 degrees C for more than 1 year and 40 microM solution was stable for 45 days (at least) at 4 degrees C.

Abstract
In the absence of dioxygen, the cationic complex [(phen)2Ru(tatpp)Ru(phen)2]4+ (P4+) undergoes in situ reduction by glutathione (GSH) to form a species that induces DNA cleavage. Exposure to air strongly attenuates the cleavage activity, even in the presence of a large excess of reducing agent (e.g., 40 equiv of GSH per P4+), suggesting that the complex may be useful in targeting cells with a low-oxygen microenvironment (hypoxia) for destruction via DNA cleavage. The active species is identified as the doubly reduced, doubly protonated complex H2P4+, and a carbon-based radical species is implicated in the cleavage action. We postulate that the dioxygen concentration regulates the degree to which the carbon radical forms and thus regulates the DNA cleavage activity.

Abstract
The interaction between four related cyanine dyes and bacteriophage T5 is investigated with fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy. The dyes, which differ in size, charge, and mode of DNA-binding, penetrate the capsid and bind the DNA inside. The rate of association decreases progressively with increasing dye size, from a few minutes for YO to more than 50 h for YOYO (at 37 degrees C). The relative affinity for the phage DNA is a factor of about 0.2 lower than for the same T5-DNA when free in solution. Comparison of groove-bound BOXTO-PRO and intercalating YO-PRO shows that the reduced affinity is not due to DNA extension but perhaps influenced by competition with other cationic DNA-binding agents inside the capsid. Although, the extent of dye binding to the phages decreases with increasing external ionic strength, the affinity relative to free DNA increases, which indicates a comparatively weak screening of electrostatic interactions inside the phage. The rate of binding increases with increasing ionic strength, reflecting an increase in effective pore size of the capsid as electrostatic interactions are screened and/or a faster diffusion of the dye through the DNA matrix inside the capsid as the DNA affinity is reduced. A combination of electron microscopy, light scattering, and linear dichroism show that the phages are intact after YO-PRO binding, whereas a small degree of capsid rupture cannot be excluded with BOXTO-PRO.

Abstract
The effect of agarose gel concentration and field strength on the electrophoretic trapping of open (relaxed) circular DNA was investigated using microscopic measurements of individual molecules stained with a fluorescent dye. Three open circles with sizes of 52.5, 115, and 220 kbp were trapped by the electric field (6 V/cm) and found to be predominately fixed and stretched at a single point in the gel. The length of the stretched circles did not significantly change with agarose concentration of the gels (mass fractions of 0.0025, 0.01, and 0.02). The relaxation kinetics of the trapped circles was also measured in the gels. The relaxation of the large open circles was found to be a slow process, taking several seconds. The velocity and average length of the 52.5 kbp open circles and 48.5 kbp linear DNA were measured during electrophoresis in the agarose gels. The velocity increased when the agarose concentrations were lowered, but the average length of the open-circle DNA (during electrophoresis) did not significantly change with agarose gel concentrations. The circles move through the gels by cycles of stretching and relaxation during electrophoresis. Linear dichroism was also used to investigate the trapping and alignment of the 52.5 kbp open circles. The results in this study provide information that can be used to improve electrophoretic separations of circular DNA, an important form of genetic material and commonly used to clone DNA.

Abstract
The unsymmetrical cyanine dyes BOXTO-PRO and BOXTO-MEE were derived from the DNA groove binder BOXTO, by adding a positively charged or a non-ionic hydrophilic tail to BOXTO, respectively. The main objective was to obtain more efficient DNA probes, for instance in electrophoresis and microscopy, by slowing down the dissociation of BOXTO from DNA. The interactions with mixed sequence DNA was studied with fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy, stopped-flow dissociation and gel electrophoresis. Both the derivatives are groove bound as BOXTO, and have similar fluorescence properties when bound to mixed sequence DNA in free solution. BOXTO-PRO exhibits a slower dissociation than BOXTO from DNA, whereas the dissociation rate for BOXTO-MEE is faster and, unexpectedly independent of the ionic strength. During gel electrophoresis both BOXTO-PRO and BOXTO-MEE exhibit a faster dissociation rate than BOXTO. Still, BOXTO-PRO seems to be a good alternative as DNA probe, especially for applications in free solution where the dissociation is slower than for the corresponding intercalator TOPRO-1.
