Abstract

The reorientational dynamics of a polar environment, for example water in the hydration shell of biomolecules, can be measured with a molecular probe by time-resolving its fluorescence Stokes shift. The new probe 7-amino-dibenzofuran-3-carboxylate (ADC) was designed and synthesized for such use in double-stranded DNA where it may replace a base pair. This contribution concentrates on the synthesis, including the DNA bulding ...
