title: Fluorescence properties of 2-aminopurine-cytidine-7-deazaguanine (5'-ApCdzG-3') trimer in B- and Z-DNA.
abstract: The electron transfer quenching of 2-aminopurine by guanine and 7-deazaguanine was investigated in B- and Z-DNA, and an increase in the fluorescence intensity of 2-aminopurine upon B- to Z-DNA transition was demonstrated.
