Picosecond infrared probing of the vibrational spectra of transients formed upon UV excitation of stacked G-tetrad structures.
The photophysical properties of stacked G-tetrads in diverse systems, including concentrated solutions of 5'-guanosine monophosphate (5'-GMP), polyguanylic acid (poly(G)) and the G-rich oligodeoxynucleotide sequence characteristic of human telomeric DNA, are probed by ps-TRIR and compared to those of the monomeric 5'-GMP.
