Alternating DNA and π-Conjugated Sequences. Thermophilic Foldable Polymers.

Discusses the hydrophobic effects in the folding of alternating hydrophobic pie-conjugated chromophores and hydrophilic chromophores hydrophilic single-strand DNA. Methods for the incorporation of multiple optically active chromophores into the backbone of DNA for folding studies; Thermophilic property of chromophoric trimer; Optical absorption of chromophoric polymers.
