TY - JOUR AU - Stulz, Eugen PY - 2015/11/25 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Porphyrin-modified DNA as Construction Material in Supramolecular Chemistry and Nano-architectonics JF - CHIMIA JA - Chimia VL - 69 IS - 11 SE - Scientific Articles DO - 10.2533/chimia.2015.678 UR - https://www.chimia.ch/chimia/article/view/2015_678 SP - 678 AB - An overview is given on the developments of using porphyrin-modified DNA for the construction of functional assemblies. Strategies for the synthesis and characterisation are presented alongside selected applications where the porphyrin modification has proven to be particularly useful, but also revealed its limitations. We also discuss implications on property and behaviour of the porphyrin-DNA, where similar issues could arise using other hydrophobic and bulky substituents on DNA. ER -
