title: Synthesis of long Poly(dG).Poly(dC) DNA using enzymatic reaction.
abstract: Non-defect Poly(dG).Poly(dC) of 500 bp (170 nm) has been synthesized by using enzymatic reactions and was characterized by its UV spectrum, showing that conjugated pi-electrons between base pairs are spread over the DNA molecule suggesting the absence of structural defects.
