| Abstract | The extent to which the replacement of a ribose unit by a 2′-deoxyribose unit influences the acid–base properties of nucleotides has not hitherto been determined in detail. In this study, by potentiometric pH titrations in aqueous solution, we have measured the acidity constants of the 5′-di- and 5′-triphosphates of 2′-deoxyguanosine [i.e., of $H_{2}(dGDP)^{−}$ and $H_{2}(dGTP)^{2−}]$ as well as of the 5′-mono-, 5′-di-, and 5′-triphosphates of 2′-deoxyadenosine [i.e., of $H_{2}(dAMP)^{±},$ $H_{2}(dADP)^{−},$ and $H_{2}(dATP)^{2−}].$ These 12 acidity constants (of the 56 that are listed) are compared with those of the corresponding ribose derivatives (published data) measured under the same experimental conditions. The results show that all protonation sites in the 2′-deoxynucleotides are more basic than those in their ribose counterparts. The influence of the 2′-OH group is dependent on the number of 5′-phosphate groups as well as on the nature of the purine nucleobase. The basicity of N7 in guanine nucleotides is most significantly enhanced (by about 0.2 pK units), while the effect on the phosphate groups and the N1H or $N1H^{+}$ sites is less pronounced but clearly present. In addition, $^{1}H NMR$ chemical shift change studies in dependence on pD in $D_{2}O$ have been carried out for the dAMP, dADP, and dATP systems, which confirmed the results from the potentiometric pH titrations and showed the nucleotides to be in their anti conformations. Overall, our results are not only of relevance for metal ion binding to nucleotides or nucleic acids, but also constitute an exact basis for the calculation, determination, and understanding of perturbed $pK_{a}$ values in DNAzymes and ribozymes, as needed for the delineation of acid–base mechanisms in catalysis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
