Interactions du Cu(II), du Hg(II) et du Pt(II) avec les formes monomères et dimères de la thymine, de la thymidine et de l'acide orotique

Abstract

The protonation constants of monomeric (TM) and dimeric (TD) forms of thymine and monomeric (OM) and dimeric (OD) forms of orotic acid and thymidine (TY) have been calculated at 25 and 37 °C and at ionic strength μ = 0.1 (NaNO3). Under the same conditions the stability constants of their Cu(II), Hg(II), and Pt(II) complexes have been determined by protometric methods. The results have been discussed and a comparison has been established in terms of binding sites: nitrogen N3 for monomeric and dimeric forms of thymine and thymidine; carboxylate anion at C6 and adjacent ring nitrogen N1 for monomeric and dimeric forms of orotic acid.
