A catalytic DNA for porphyrin metallation

Yingfu Li1 & Dipankar Sen1

1Institute of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Simon Fraser University Burnaby, British Columbia, V5A 1S6, Canada

A guanine-rich DNA oligomer (33 nucleotides), isolated by in vitro selection from a random-sequence DNA library, catalyses the insertion of copper(II) and zinc ions into mesoporphyrin IX.
