title: Complexation of Nickel(II) with Guanosine 5'-Monophosphate and Inosine 5'-Monophosphate: A Potentiometric and Calorimetric Study.
abstract: The constants (K(s)) and enthalpies (DeltaH(s)) for stacking interactions between purine nucleoside monophosphates were determined by calorimetry; the values thus obtained were guanosine as follows: K(s) = 2.1 +/- 0.3 M(-)(1) and DeltaH(s) = -41.8 +/- 0.8 kJ/mol for adenosine 5'-monophosphate (5'AMP); K(s) = 1.5 +/- 0.3 M(-1) and DeltaH(s) = -42.0 +/- 1.5 kJ/mol for guanosine 5'-monophosphate (5'GMP); and K(s) = 1.0 +/- 0.2 M(-1) and DeltaH(s) = -42.3 +/- 1.1 kJ/mol for inosine 5'-monophosphate (5'IMP). The interaction of nickel(II) with purine nucleoside monophosphates was studied using potentiometric and calorimetric methods, with 0.1 M tetramethylammonium bromide as the background electrolyte, at 25 degrees C. The presence in solution of the complexes [Ni(5'GMP)(2)](2)(-) and [Ni(5'IMP)(2)](2)(-) was observed. The thermodynamic parameters obtained were log K(ML) = 3.04 +/- 0.02, log K(ML2) = 2.33 +/- 0.02, DeltaH(ML) = -18.4 +/- 0.9 kJ/mol and DeltaH(ML2) = -9.0 +/- 1.9 kJ/mol for 5'GMP; and log K(ML) = 2.91 +/- 0.01, log K(ML2) = 1.92 +/- 0.01, DeltaH(ML) = -16.2 +/- 0.9 kJ/mol and DeltaH(ML2) = -0.1 +/- 2.3 kJ/mol for 5'IMP. The relationships between complex enthalpies and the degree of macrochelation, as well as the stacking interaction between purine bases in the complexes are discussed in relation to previously reported calorimetric data.
