Duplex and quadruplex DNA binding and photocleavage by trioxatriangulenium ion.

The stable trioxatriangulenium ion (TOTA) has previously been shown to bind to and photooxidize duplex DNA, leading to cleavage at G residues, particularly 5'-GG-3' repeats. Telomeric DNA consists of G-rich sequences that may exist in either duplex or G-quadruplex forms. We have employed e...
