Abstract

To develop a new sensor for histone, a series of Naphthalenediimide (NDI) derivatieves were subjected to DNA binding studies and the NDI derivative with strongest affinity for DNA was selected. This NDI-DNA hybrid is used for highly selective and sensitive detection of a DNA binding protein, histone which dislodges the intercalated NDI groups and thus “turn-on” the emission.
