Figure 9.
Stern–Volmer plot for the quenching of the PHEO–CARBOQ exciplex fluorescence by double-stranded oligonucleotides. Fluorescence was obtained from the area of the integrated spectrum. Pheophorbide-a (PHEO) and carboquone (CARBOQ) concentrations are 1.8 × 10−5 M and 2.3 × 10−5 M, respectively.
