Abstract
Binding and cleavage of DNA by new, rationally-designed photonucleases based on porphyrin, metallo-polypyridyl and diazo-arene chromophores are described in light of their application as photosensitizers in the photodynamic therapy of tumours and as structural/spectroscopic probe s for DNA.
