Abstract excerpt
The 3,3'-diethylthiacarbocyanine (DiSC(2)(5)) dye is able to aggregate on full matched PNA-DNA duplexes by changing its absorption properties, which are manifested by an instantaneous colour shift from blue to purple. However the spontaneous aggregation of the dye also on mismatched duplexes and...
