title: Fluorometric sensing of the salt-induced B-Z DNA transition by combination of two pyrene-labeled nucleobases.
abstract: We have developed a new fluorescent DNA sensor containing two pyrene-labeled nucleobases, (Pet)G and (Py)C, and the fluorescence color was altered by the salt-induced B-Z DNA transition.
