title: The DNA three-way junction as a mould for tripartite chromophore assembly.
abstract: The DNA three-way junction serves as a scaffold for the molecular organization of non-nucleosidic alkynylpyrene and perylenediimide chromophores located at the branch point of the structure. Depending on the composition of the tripartite assembly, the constructs possess distinct spectroscopic properties, ranging from monomer or excimer fluorescence to completely quenched tripartite aggregates.
