title: Photocurrent responses from pyrene-modified RNA duplexes on gold surface.
abstract: The self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of RNA duplex containing pyrenylmethyl group(s) at the 2'-O-position(s) were prepared. Photo-irradiation of the pyrene-RNA SAMs in the presence of methyl viologen as an electron carrier efficiently generated cathodic photocurrent.
