The development of functional 1, 8-naphthalimide derivatives as DNA targeting, anticancer
and cellular imaging agents is a fast growing area and has resulted in several such …

The ability of the DNA double helix to transport electrons underlies many life‐centered
biological processes and bio‐electronic applications. However, there is little consensus on …

Interest in using DNA as a building block for nanoelectronic sensors and devices stems from
its efficient hole-conducting properties and the relative ease with which it can be organized …

The photoreactivities of 5-halouracil-containing DNA have widely been used for analysis of
protein− DNA interactions and have recently been used for probing charge-transfer …

Charge transfer (CT) in DNA offers a unique approach for the detection of a single-base
mismatch in a DNA molecule. While the single-base mismatch would significantly affect the …

A positive charge migrates along DNA mainly via a series of short-range charge transfer
(CT) processes between GC base pairs, which have relatively high HOMO levels. As such …

DNA consists of two type of base-pairs, GC and AT, in which the highest occupied molecular
orbital (HOMO) localizes on the purine bases G and A. While the hole transfer through …

We report the measurement of hole-transfer rate constants (k ht) in locked nucleic acid (LNA)
and 5-Me-2′-deoxyzebularine (B)-modified DNA. LNA modification, which makes DNA …

The kinetics of photoinduced reactions can be approached by laser flash photolysis
techniques. Although such techniques allow for a detailed understanding of the important …

TiO2/DNA nanoconjugates were successfully fabricated by using the catechol moiety as a
binding functional group, which was confirmed by steady‐state absorption and fluorescence …
