Real‐Time Spectroscopic and Chemical Probing of Reductive Electron Transfer in DNA

Abstract

Highly acceptable: DNA is a flexible medium with a range of conformational states. Thus, in investigations of the DNA-mediated reductive electron transfer using a modified DNA duplex containing 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (red in picture) as the electron acceptor and pyren-1-yl-2′-deoxyuridine (blue) as the electron donor, a distribution of electron-transfer rates has been observed.
