X-ray structure of a lectin-bound DNA duplex containing an unnatural phenanthrenyl pair. Issue 26 (22nd February 2016) - Roethlisberger, P.
Abstract : DNA duplexes containing unnatural base-pair surrogates are attractive biomolecular nanomaterials with potentially beneficial photophysical or electronic properties. Abstract : DNA duplexes containing unnatural base-pair surrogates are attractive biomolecular nanomaterials with potentially beneficial photophysical or electronic properties. Herein we report the first X-ray structure of a duplex containing a phen-pair in the center of the double helix in a zipper like stacking arrangement.
