Abstract excerpt
By decreasing the HOMO energy gap between the base-pairs to increase the charge conductivity of DNA, the positive charge photochemically generated in DNA can be made to migrate along the π-way of DNA over long distances to form a long-lived charge-separated state. By fine-tuning the kinetics of the charge-transfer reactions, we designed a functionalized DNA system in which absorbed photon energy is converted into...
