title: Cleavage of DNA by viologen related compounds and their incorporation into oligodeoxyribonucleotides.
abstract: The DNA cleavage reaction by viologen and related compound such as 2,7-diazapyrenium salt was investigated. These viologen analogues were successfully incorporated into the oligothymidylate in the form of covalent bonding at the site of the phosphorous backbone through the linker arm.
