title: Conjugation of organic-metallic hybrid polymers and calf-thymus DNA.
abstract: Strong electrostatic interaction between metallo-supramolecular polymers and DNA was confirmed by UV-vis and CD spectral measurements during titration, and cyclic voltammetry. The stable conjugation structure based on groove binding was revealed by using QM/MM computational methodology and supported by AFM.
