Electron transfer through DNA: The electron-transfer dynamics of i-motif DNA conjugated with pyrene (Py) and anthraquinone (AQ) has been investigated by fluorescence up-conversion and transient absorption spectroscopic methods. Electron transfer (see red arrows) in i-motif DNA is more efficient than in duplex DNA, suggesting that i-motif DNA can be used as electron carrier in nanoelectronic devices.
