Ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes as photoprobes for DNA mismatches / PAUL TILEY

Swansea University Author: PAUL TILEY

Abstract

[Ru(bpy)2dppz]2+ is a classic “light switch” effect complex with a brighter emission for mismatched DNA than well-matched DNA. It is, therefore, a photoprobe for DNA. To enhance its selectivity for mismatched base pairs which can lead to DNA mutations, a range of related complexes were synthesized a...
