DNA Wrapped Around Nanotube And Experimental Two-Color Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Caption

DNA wrapped around nanotube (right inset) is capable to recover after absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation by an autoionization process. Experimental two-color fluorescence spectroscopy (left) was combined with quantum mechanical calculations (right and middle inset) to explain the anomalous fluorescence quenching in nanotube under UV illumination.
