Abstract excerpt
A complex OsO(4), 2,2'-bipyridine (Os,bipy), has been used for electroactive labeling of biopolymers as well as for probing of nucleic acids and protein structure and interactions. In DNA, Os,bipy forms electrochemically active adducts with pyrimidine nucleobases, exhibiting highly selective modification of thymine residues in single-stranded DNA. Here, we show that modification of rare thymine residues (one...
