摘要
A tool for time-resolved studies: The phenanthridinium unit of ethidium was incorporated into oligonucleotides (see scheme) as an artificial DNA base. The resulting duplexes can be used to study electron-transfer processes by spectroscopic techniques and to compare the rates of reductive electron transfer and oxidative hole transfer.
