Metal-containing DNA hairpins as hybridization probesElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: synthesis, enzymatic degradation, composition analysis and thermal denaturation studies of oligonucleotides. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/cc/b1/b100036p/
Abstract
A RuII–based emission, while almost entirely
quenched in a RuII/OsII heterodimetallated DNA
hairpin, is dramatically restored upon hybridization to a complementary
