Detection of DNA–Ligand Binding Oscillations by Stokes‐Shift Measurements

Abstract

Riding the waves: In a DNA–ligand complex, the time-dependent Stokes shift shows initial oscillation. Molecular dynamics simulations help assign this ripple to coherent in/out motion of the ligand together with breathing of the minor groove (see picture).
