title: Preparation of DNA double helical structures containing both mercury and silver ions.
abstract: DNA duplexes consisting of metal-mediated pyrimidine base pairs, T-Hg(II)-T and C-Ag(I)-C, were prepared by mixing short oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) in the presence of the metal ions. The metal ions were arrayed linearly in the prepared double helical structures. The choice of sequence controls the order of the metal ions.
