Samples containing 6 μM Ru and 12 μM DNA were prepared in 5 mM Tris, 200 mM NaCl, pH 7.5 using DNA sequences shown in Figure 2. λex = 460 nm, λem = 700 nm. Percentages reflect the relative contributions of each lifetime to the overall decay. K3[Fe(CN)6](aq) was added to a final concentration of 8 mM.
