The DNA binding behavior of a tricationic cyanine dye (DiSC3+(5)) was studied using the [Poly(dA-dT)]2, [Poly(dI-dC)]2 and Poly(dA) x Poly(dT) duplex sequences and the Poly(dA) x 2Poly(dT) triplex. Optical spectroscopy and viscometry results indicate that the dye binds to the

A large combinatorial phage display library was panned against five nucleic acid antigens, calf thymus DNA, poly[d(GC)], poly[d(AT)], poly(dA) x poly(dT) and poly(rA) x poly(dT). After the third and fourth rounds of panning, many positive clones were selected against poly[d(GC)]
