dsDNA-triggered energy transfer and lanthanide sensitization processes. Luminescent probing of specific A/T sequences

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Orthogonal attachment of a DOTA[Ln(3+)] complex or a coumarin fluorophore to appropriately functionalized bis-4-aminobenzamidines yields compounds that experience A/T-selective, dsDNA-dependent energy transfer processes, and elicit long wavelength emission of light.
