Fluorescence spectroscopy, one of the most informative and sensitive analytical techniques,
has played and continues to play key roles in modern research. Indeed, unraveling the inner …

Fluorescent nucleoside analogues (FNAs) are indispensable in studying the interactions of
nucleic acids with nucleic acid-binding proteins. By replacing one of the poorly emissive …

The dynamics of the electric fields in the interior of DNA are measured by using
oligonucleotides in which a native base pair is replaced by a dye molecule (coumarin 102) …

The fluorescent intensity of Cy3 and Cy5 dyes is strongly dependent on the nucleobase
sequence of the labeled oligonucleotides. Sequence-dependent fluorescence may …

Time-resolved Stokes shifts in a dye-containing oligonucleotide have been observed over
the entire time range from 40 fs to 40 ns. The dynamics fit to a power law with a small …

Time-resolved Stokes-shift experiments measure the dynamics of biomolecules and of the
perturbed solvent near them on subnanosecond time scales, but molecular dynamics …

A one light strand: 2′‐Deoxyguanosine was made fluorescent by attaching a vinyl group at
the C8 position (see structure). The resulting fluorophore is highly sensitive towards DNA …

Herein, the efficient interaction of an environment-sensitive fluorophore that undergoes
excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) with DNA has been realized by …

Thiazole orange was synthetically incorporated into oligonucleotides by using the
corresponding phosphoramidite as the building block for automated DNA synthesis. Due to …

Recent time domain experiments have explored solvation dynamics of a probe located
inside a DNA duplex, in an effort to gain information, eg, on the dynamics of water molecules …
