Photosensitized and catalytic oxidation of DNA by metallophthalocyanine-oligonucleotide conjugates

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2001 Apr-Jul;20(4-7):1259-62. doi: 10.1081/NCN-100002531.

Abstract

The synthesis of new metallophthalocyanine-oligonucleotide conjugates is reported. These conjugates can cause sequence-specific photosensitized or catalytic oxidation of DNA by molecular oxygen.
