The compounds bind through canted intercalation, with the binding angle determined by the guanine NH2 group, in contrast to symmetrical intercalation previously observed at 5'-TA-3' sites. This result suggests that canted intercalation is preferred at 5'-CG-3' sites even though the site itself is symmetrical, and we hypothesise that symmetrical intercalation in a 5'-CG-3' step could give rise to a longer luminescence lifetime than canted intercalation.
