As a part of a study to elucidate the functional difference between Glu and Gln side-chains in terms of the recognition of guanine base by tryptophan-containing peptides via cooperative stacking and hydrogen-bond pairing interactions, the binding of 7-methylguanine to Trp-Gly-Gly-Glu and Trp-Gly-Gly-Gln was examined by fluorescence and 1H-NMR methods. Comparison of fluorescence experiments showed a binding preference for Trp-Gly-Gly-Glu over Trp-Gly-Gly-Gln. The analyses of the downfield and upfield shifts of the C2 amino and N7 methyl protons of 7-methylguanine base showed there was hydrogen-bond pairing of Glu and Gln side chains with the base and a stacking interaction of the Trp residue with the base, respectively. However, the hydrogen-bond pairing was more effective in the case of the Glu residue than the Gln residue, indicating the preference of the carboxyl group over the carbamoyl group to form hydrogen-bond pairing with the guanine base.
