Thermodynamics of interaction of phthalocyanine-oligonucleotide conjugates with single- and double-stranded DNA

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2004 Oct;23(6-7):983-7. doi: 10.1081/NCN-200026051.

Abstract

Thermodynamics of interaction of phthalocyanine-oligonucleotide conjugates with single- and double-stranded DNA resulting in formation of duplexes and triplexes was measured by UV melting method. It was shown that a phthalocyanine moiety of conjugates stabilized the formation of duplexes and triplexes.
