Guanine's array of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors lead it to take part in structures as
diverse as B-DNA, Z-DNA, hairpins, cruciforms, triplexes, and G-quadruplexes; these …

Conspectus DNA is well-known as bearer of the genetic code. Since its structure elucidation
nearly seven decades ago by Watson, Crick, Wilkins, and Franklin, much has been learned …

Cooperative effects in the binding of two or more substrates to different binding sites of a
receptor that are a result of a conformational change caused by the binding of the first …

With potential applications in materials and especially in light-responsive biomedicine that
targets cancer tissue selectively, much research has focused on develo** covalent …

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) can be generated due to the restriction of
intramolecular motions. The controllable assembly of fluorogens with AIE properties …

Metalloporphyrins which form the core of many bioenzymes and natural light harvesting or
electron transport systems, exhibit a variety of selective functional properties depending on …

Sniffing out proteins: Fluorescent DNA G‐quadruplexes have been used for building
versatile signaling receptors for proteins in a single solution. Introducing a protein sample to …

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA, cutoff values≥ 1.5 μM) is an effective biomarker for early stage
ovarian cancer. The development of selective probes for LPA detection is therefore critical …

The intricate arrangement of numerous and closely placed chromophores on nanoscale
scaffolds can lead to key photonic applications ranging from optical waveguides and …

Modified nucleic acids have a wide range of applications in many areas of biochemistry. In
particular, fluorescence-based nucleic acid systems have been studied extensively for their …
