Abstract excerpt
Psoralen is an asymmetric photoreactive intercalator with a furane and a pyrone side. When intercalated at 5'-TpA-3' sites and upon UVA irradiation, the psoralen can react with the thymine residues on both strands, introducing an interstrand crosslink. Using psoralen-coupled triple-helix-forming oligonucleotides, psoralen interstrand crosslinks can be site-specifically introduced in the coding sequence of URA3, a...
