Jf. Constant et al., Oligonucleotides derivatized with luminescent and photoreactive Ru(II) complexes: Models for photoelectron transfer and photocrosslinking, NUCLEOS NUC, 18(6-7), 1999, pp. 1319-1320
In this work we examined different aspects of the photo-reaction of Ru(TAP)
(2) (DIP)(2+) (TAP 1,4,5,8-tetraazaphenanthrene; DIP = 4,7 diphenylphenanth
roline) with guanine by studying synthetic oligonucleotide conjugates in wh
ich the metal complex is tethered to the oligonucleotide.
