Array-based sensing of purine derivatives with fluorescent dyes

Kay Severin, Ziya Köstereli

Natural and synthetic purine derivatives such as caffeine, theophylline, 6-mercaptopurine and 8-chlorotheophylline are important drugs. Due to the structural similarity of these compounds, it is intrinsically difficult to prepare chemosensors for their sel ...

Influence of DNA Binding Dyes on Bare DNA Structure Studied with Atomic Force Microscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Aleksandre Japaridze, Sylvain Renevey, Aleksandr Benke

Fluorescent dyes are widely used for staining and visualization of DNA in optical microscopy based methods. Even though for some dyes the mechanism of binding is known, how this binding affects DNA remains poorly understood. Here we present a novel experim ...
