Duplex and hairpin dimer structures for perylene diimide-oligonucleotide conjugates.
Perylene diimide-oligonucleotide conjugates can form either duplex or hairpin dimer structures, depending upon the choice of oligonucleotide base sequence; we have used a combination of optical spectroscopy and molecular modeling to investigate the structures of the duplex and hairpin dimer.
