## Abstract The regularities of the donor‐acceptor interaction of nucleic acid bases and some of their derivatives with the strong acceptor 7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) in thin amorphous films at 77 K were studied using UV and visible spectroscopy. Purine and pyrimidine bases are shown t

In this study, the ability of synthetic fluorinated lipospermines to bind DNA and siRNA was investigated and the transfection efficiency and toxicity of the resulting lipoplexes in cell lines were evaluated. Three lipopolyamines displaying fluorous tags close to their cationic polar head ("HFP" poly
## Abstract __Intercalating nucleic acids (INA®s) with insertions of (__R__)‐1‐__O__‐(1‐pyrenylmethyl)glycerol were hybridized with locked nucleic acids (LNAs). INA/LNA duplexes were found to be less stable than the corresponding DNA/LNA duplexes when the INA monomer was inserted as a bulge close t
