The photophysical properties of 2-aminopurine and its application as a probe of DNA-protein interactions

Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopies have been used to investigate the photophysical properties of the fluorescent DNA base analogue, 2-aminopurine (2AP). For the first time, the fluorescence decay of 2AP is shown to be biexponential. In aqueous solution, 2AP has lifetimes of 1...
