title: Fluorometric sensing of conformational switching of DNA; the use of fluorescence labeled C8-alkylamino substituted 2'-deoxyguanosine.
abstract: C8-alkylamino substituted 2'-deoxyguanosine was incorporated into a DNA sequence and then labeled with pyrene. The conformational change from B- to Z-form was monitored using CD and fluorescence spectroscopy for both labeled and unlabeled ODNs.
