Coenzyme B12 can assist radical enzymes that accomplish the vicinal interchange of a hydrogen atom with a functional group. It has been proposed that the Co-C bond homolysis of coenzyme B12 to cob(II)alamin and the 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical is aided by hydrogen bonding of the corrin C19-H to the 3'-O of the ribose moiety of the incipient 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical, which is stabilized by 30 kJ mol-1 (B. Durbeej et al., Chem. Eur. J. 2009, 15, 8578-8585). The diastereoisomers (R)- and (S)-2,3-dihydroxypropylcobalamin were used as models for coenzyme B 12. A downfield shift of the NMR signal for the C19-H proton was observed for the (R)-isomer (Δ=4.45 versus 4.01 ppm for the (S)-isomer) and can be ascribed to an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the C19-H and the oxygen of CHOH. Crystal structures of (R)- and (S)-2,3-dihydroxypropylcobalamin showed C19-H···O distances of 3.214(7) A? (R-isomer) and 3.281(11) A? (S-isomer), which suggest weak hydrogen-bond interactions (-ΔG-1) between the CHOH of the dihydroxypropyl ligand and the C19-H. Exchange of the C19-H, which is dependent on the cobalt redox state, was investigated with cob(I)alamin, cob(II)alamin, and cob(III)alamin by using NMR spectroscopy to monitor the uptake of deuterium from deuterated water in the pH range 3-11. No exchange was found for any of the cobalt oxidation states. 3',5'-Dideoxyadenosylcobalamin, but not the 2',5'-isomer, was found to act as a coenzyme for glutamate mutase, with a 15-fold lower kcat/KM than 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin. This indicates that stabilization of the 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical by a hydrogen bond that involves the C19-H and the 3'-OH group of the cofactor is, at most, 7 kJ mol-1 (-ΔG). Examination of the crystal structure of glutamate mutase revealed additional stabilizing factors: hydrogen bonds between both the 2'-OH and 3'-OH groups and glutamate 330. The actual strength of a hydrogen bond between the C19-H and the 3'-O of the ribose moiety of the 5'-deoxyadenosyl group is concluded not to exceed 6 kJ mol-1 (-ΔG).

Cα-bimodal peptide nucleic acids (bm-Cα-PNA) are PNAs with two faces and are designed homologues of PNAs in which each aminoethylglycine (aeg) repeating unit in the standard PNA backbone hosts a second nucleobase at Cα through a spacer chain with a triazole linker. Such bm-Cα-PNA with mixed sequences can form double duplexes by simultaneous binding to two complementary DNAs, one to the base sequence on t-amide side and the other to the bases on the Cα side chain. The synthesis of bm-Cα-PNA with homothymine (T7) on the t-amide face and homocytosine (C5) on the Cα side chain through the triazole linker was achieved by solid phase synthesis with the global click reaction. In the presence of complementary DNAs dA8 and dG6 at neutral pH, bm-Cα-PNA 1 forms a higher order pentameric double duplex of a triplex composed of two bm-Cα-PNA-C5:dG5 duplexes built on a core (bm-Cα-PNA-T7)2:dA8 triplex. Circular dichroism studies showed that assembly can be achieved by either triplex first and duplex later or vice versa. Isothermal titration calorimetry data indicated that the assembly is driven by favorable enthalpy. These results validate concurrent multiple complex formation by bimodal PNAs with additional nucleobases at Cα or Cγon the aeg-PNA backbone and open up ways to design programmed supramolecular assemblies.
