title: Fluorescence enhancement of bis-acridine orange peptide, BAO, upon binding to double stranded DNA.
abstract: Bis-acridine orange peptides carrying two acridine oranges at the epsilon-amino moieties of both terminal lysines of a tetra(lysine) chain showed a ca. 200-fold fluorescence enhancement upon addition of double stranded DNA.
