Description
DNA strands host specific silver clusters that are highly emissive chromophores. Our studies focus on how these metallic ligands perturb the structure of their DNA hosts. A composite oligonucleotide has two components: a 5’- adenine cluster domain that complexes silver clusters and a 3’-cytosine region. The complex was studies by varying the DNA sequences, the amounts of silver, and the reaction conditions. Mass spectrometry was used to measure the silver and DNA stoichiometries in the resulting complexes.
