    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the development and use of fluorescent base analogues (FBAs). They are important tools in research concerning nucleic acids structure, dynamics and interactions. READ MORE

  2. 2. Expanding the alphabet of fluorescent nucleic acid base analogues: Characterization of new members

    Author : Anke Dierckx; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fluorescent adenine analogue; fluorescent DNA base analogue; duplex stability; Fluorescence quantum yield; circular dichroism; B-DNA;

    Abstract : Fluorescence has proven to be a powerful tool for studying structure, dynamics and interactions of biomolecules such as proteins, RNA and DNA. However, since the natural DNA/RNA nucleobases are virtually non-fluorescent, there is a need for developing fluorescent nucleic acid markers. READ MORE

  3. 3. Fluorescent Nucleobase Analogues and their use for Investigating DNA Interactions

    Author : Anke Dierckx; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FRET; B-DNA; circular dichroism; fluorescent nucleobase analogue; adenine analogue; duplex stability; Fluorescence quantum yield;

    Abstract : Ever since unravelling the structure of DNA, an expanding research field has emerged with ongoing efforts dedicated to increase our understanding of the molecule of life. Since the natural nucleobases are virtually non-emissive, it has been a challenge for decades to ‘light up’ DNA/RNA in order to investigate their properties utilizing fluorescence techniques.

  4. 4. Recognition and Visualization of Nucleic Acids

    Author : Marcus Wilhelmsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intercalation; cyanine dye; ruthenium; polarized spectroscopy; threading; groove-binding; kinetics; genetic screening; DNA; fluorescent base analogue;

    Abstract : The work presented in this Thesis focuses on the interaction between nucleic acids and small molecules, as well as binding or incorporation of reporter chromophores into nucleic acids. The results could help in studying and understanding processes that are fundamental to describe mechanisms behind a genetic disorder. READ MORE

  5. 5. A biophysical study of nucleic acid interactions with analogues and drugs

    Author : Ulrica Sehlstedt; Donald M Crothers; Stockholms universitet; []
