Unique hole-trapping property of the degenerate base,2-amino-7-deazaadenine.
An artificial degenerate nucleobase, 2-amino-7-deazaadenine (1) showed remarkably high hole-trapping efficiency, similar to that of (Z)G and superior to that of the GGG triplet. The hole-trapping efficiency varied with the counterbase that base-pairs with 1.
