title: Specific interactions between silver(I) ions and cytosine-cytosine pairs in DNA duplexes.
abstract: Very specific binding of the Ag(i) ion unexpectedly stabilized DNA duplexes containing the naturally occurring cytosine-cytosine (C-C) mismatch-base pair; because the C-C pair selectively binds to the Ag(i) ion, we developed a DNA-based Ag(i) sensor that employed an oligodeoxyribonucleotide containing C-C pairs used for Ag(i) binding sites.
