Structural changes of nucleic acid base in aqueous solution as observed in X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES)

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra for adenine containing nucleotides, adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) in aqueous solutions at the nitrogen K-edge region were measured. The two intense peaks in XANES spectra are assigned to transitions of 1s electrons to the $$pi$$$$^{*}$$ orbitals of different types of N atoms with particular bonding characteristics. The difference between their spectra is ascribed to protonation of a particular N atom. Similarity observed in XANES spectra of guanosine-5'-monophosphate (GMP) and ATP is also interpreted as similar bonding characters of the N atoms in the nucleobase moiety.
