Abstract

Substitution of a nucleobase pair with a pair of 1,2-hydroxypyridinone (1,2-HOPO) ligands in the center of a 10-base-pair peptide nucleic acid (PNA) duplex provides a strong binding site for EuIII as evidenced by UV thermal melting curves, UV titrations, and luminescence spectroscopy. Eu III excitation spectra and luminescence lifetime data are consistent with EuIII bound to both 1,2 HOPO ligands in a PNA-HOPO duplex as the major species present in solution.
