Abstract
We have prepared a histidine containing monomeric α-helical peptide, ETH6 (A_2KA_4KA_2HA_6HA_4KA_4K) in order to study long-range electron transfer (ET). This peptide was site-specifically labelled with a ruthenium (donor) at one histidine and a second ruthenium (acceptor) at a second histidine located on the same peptide. Both the unlabeled peptide and the singly labeled peptide-metal complex, Ru(bpy)_2(im)(His)-ETH6, were shown to form stable monomeric α-helical structures as determined by circular dichroism. Ru(NH_3)_4(py) was coupled to Ru(bpy_2)(im)(His)-ETH6, forming a Ru(bpy)_2(im)(His)-ETH6-(His)Ru(NH_3)_4(py) donor-acceptor complex. The synthesis and characterization of these peptides provide an entry into a series of molecules that are ideally suited to evaluate pathway differences such as H-bond mediated versus backbone-coupled long-range ET in protein α-helices.
