Key to the development of DNA-targeting photo-therapeutic drugs is determining the interplay between the photoactivity of the drug and its binding preference for a target sequence. For the photo-oxidising lambda-[ Ru( TAP)(2)(dppz)](2+) (Lambda-1) (dppz= dipyridophenazine) complex bound to either d{T(1)C(2)G(3)G(4)C(5)G(6)C(7)C(8)G(9)A(10)}(2) (G9) or d{TCGGCGCCIA}(2) (I9), the X-ray crystal structures show the dppz intercalated at the terminal T1C2; G(9)A(10) step or T1C2; I(9)A(10) step. Thus substitution of the G(9) nucleobase by inosine does not affect intercalation in the solid state although with I-9 the dppz is more deeply inserted. In solution it is found that the extent of guanine photo-oxidation, and the rate of back electron-transfer, as determined by pico-and nanosecond time-resolved infrared and transient visible absorption spec-troscopy, is enhanced in I9, despite it containing the less oxidisable inosine. This is attributed to the nature of the binding in the minor groove due to the absence of an NH2 group. Similar behaviour and the same binding site in the crystal are found for d{TTGGCGCCAA}(2) (A9). In solution, we propose that intercalation occurs at the C(2)G(3); C8I9 or T(2)G(3); C(8)A(9) steps, respectively, with G(3) the likely target for photo-oxidation. This demonstrates how changes in the minor groove (in this case removal of an NH2 group) can facilitate binding of RuIIdppz complexes and hence influence any sensitised reactions occurring at these sites. No similar enhancement of photooxidation on binding to I-9 is found for the delta enantiomer.
