Flavin-oligonucleotide conjugates: sequence specific photocleavage of DNA

Abstract

A flavin–oligonucleotide conjugate forms a stable triple helix with a double-stranded DNA sequence of HIV-1, and selectively photocleaves it at the 3′-G of a GG doublet located 7 bases away from the flavin position.
