Hole Trapping of G‐Quartets in a G‐Quadruplex

Abstract

Hole trapping: The hole transfer and trapping in a G-quadruplex has been investigated using laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis. The results show that the charge separation in the G-quadruplex takes place efficiently between riboflavin and G-bases because of the excellent hole-trapping ability of planar G-quartets.
