Abstract

DNA Drug design Optical tweezers Radiation therapy Single-molecule studies
Binding behavior of DNA: A wormlike chain model is applied to determine the zero-force binding energetics of an intercalated DNA complex. A mono-intercalating agent is synthesized which can be very easily inserted into the DNA bases (see figure). This approach is particularly important in nuclear medicine and new radiation therapies. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
