Abstract
A DNA enzyme with peroxidase activity is a G-quadruplex-based DNAzyme formed by hemin and G-quadruplex DNA. Activity of peroxide DNAzymes can be influenced by the structure of quadruplex DNA. In this investigation, the interaction of hemin with T30695 G-quadruplex DNA is evaluated. Molecular dynamic simulation indicates that the binding mode of hemin to G-quadruplex DNA is end-stacking, which is consistent with absorption spectroscopy. Based on fluorescence spectroscopy, hemin ejects thiazole orange from bases of four-strand DNA. Circular dichroism spectra showed that no alteration occurs in this type of DNA structure.
