title: Photoinduced in situ generation of a DNA-binding benzothiazoloquinolinium derivative.
abstract: A styrylbenzothiazole substrate that has no significant affinity towards DNA was transformed photochemically into a DNA-binding benzothiazoloquinolinium ion. The photoreaction may be performed directly in the presence of DNA thus establishing the DNA-ligand interaction in situ with temporal control.
