Abstract

The effects of a crowded environment on DNA-mediated electron transfer were evaluated using a pyrene-modified oligonucleotide containing a hole-trapping nucleobase in poly(ethylene glycol) mixed solutions. Rapid decompositions of hole-trapping bases in condensed and noncondensed DNA showed that more efficient electron transfer occurred under crowded conditions than in dilute solutions.
