Synthesis and properties of terthiophene-modified oligodeoxynucleotides.
Synthesis and properties of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing terthiophene (Thp) were described. One-electron oxidation of Thp-modified ODN resulted in the formation of Thp radical cation (Thp(.+)), which remained stable in the experimental time window up to 200mus, showing that charge may be carried along DNA by Thp as Thp(.+).
