Pyrimidine base pairs in DNA duplexes selectively capture metal ions to form metal ion-
mediated base pairs, which can be evaluated by thermal denaturation, isothermal titration …

The incorporation of metal ions into nucleic acids by means of metal‐mediated base pairs
represents a promising and prominent strategy for the site‐specific decoration of these self …

The use of DNA as a molecular wire in nanoscale electronic architectures would greatly
benefit from its capability of sequence-specific self-assembly. Although single electrons and …

Fluorescent DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters contain both cationic and neutral silver
atoms. The absorbance spectra of compositionally pure solutions follow the trend expected …

Metal ion interactions with DNA have far-reaching implications in biochemistry and DNA
nanotechnology. Ag+ is uniquely interesting because it binds exclusively to the bases rather …

Metal-mediated base pairs represent a topical area of research at the border of bioinorganic
chemistry, supramolecular coordination chemistry and DNA nanotechnology. In a metal …

Recently, metal-mediated base-pairs (metallo-base-pairs) have been studied extensively
with the aim of exploring novel base-pairs; their structures, physicochemical properties, and …

Metal‐mediated base pairs represent an elegant way for the site‐specific functionalisation of
nucleic acids. In this type of base pair, the hydrogen bonds between complementary …

Increasing interest in detecting metal ions in many chemical and biomedical fields has
created demands for developing sensors and imaging agents for metal ions with high …

In this study, an efficient synthetic strategy and potential route to obtain a photo-reactive
silver-containing cytosine-functionalized polypropylene glycol polymer (Ag-Cy-PPG) was …
