Article Synopsis
- Developed an induced circular dichroism (ICD) probe using a chromophore-linked alkynyldeoxyribose skeleton to study DNA duplex structures in visible light.
- Observed strong ICD signals in Z-form duplexes, formed at high NaCl concentrations, compared to faint signals in B-form duplexes at low NaCl concentrations.
- The probe's effectiveness in promoting the B to Z transition of oligonucleotides was linked to the chromophores being attached to the 5' ends of the strands.
