Fig. 40. Proximity-induced h-aggregation of cyanine dyes on DNA-duplexes. Absorption spectra of the dye-DNA constructs. (A) Normalized absorption of the ssDNA and (B) dsDNA constructs. The light blue curves correspond to the Cy3 monomer, while the green and orange curves correspond to the Cy3 dimer with 1 base and 0 base distance, respectively.
