title: Detection of single base mismatches and abasic sites using phenanthridinium as an artificial DNA base and charge donor.
abstract: Combining the fluorescence properties of phenanthridinium as an artificial DNA base together with DNA-mediated charge transfer processes allows the homogeneous detection of DNA base mismatches and abasic sites.
