58. In general, three important factors that are prerequisites for designing real DNA nanowires may be outlined as (i) a highly ordered π-stacking array, (ii) low oxidation potential, and (iii) suppressed oxidative degradation. See ref 5 and Baik, M.-H.; Silverman, J. S.; Yang, I. V.; Ropp, P. A.; Szalai, V. A.; Yang, W. T.; Thorp, H. H. J. Phys. Chem. B 2001, 105, 6437-6444.
59. 8 however, the fluorescence mechanism may be different. The exploration of the detailed fluorescence mechanism is still underway.
60. 52, their major grooves are reduced, so quadruplex formation or protein interactions may, in fact, be less favored. However, their minor grooves are enlarged, favoring the interaction of helices with proteins. This is a qualitative prediction, and the details should be explored by combining the actual amino acids, peptides, or proteins. We plan to examine the details of all these bindings, including quadruplex formation, protein interactions, and others.
