Abstract
Fluorescence spectroscopy is increasingly being used as a technique fo r probing the structure and dynamics of nucleic acids. Recently, fluor escence methods have been used to elucidate the three-dimensional arra ngement of complex DNA and RNA structures, characterize structural per turbations resulting from base bulges in helices and junctions, determ ine helical handedness in solution, and analyze the protein-induced me lting of DNA.
