Abstract | The metallation of nucleic acids is key to wide-ranging applications, from anticancer medicine to nanomaterials, yet there is a lack of understanding of the molecular-level effects of metallation. Here, we apply single-molecule fluorescence methods to study the reaction of an organo-osmium anticancer complex and DNA. Individual metallated DNA hairpins are characterised using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Although ensemble measurements suggest a simple two-state system, single-molecule experiments reveal an underlying heterogeneity in the oligonucleotide dynamics, attributable to different degrees of metallation of the GC-rich hairpin stem. Metallated hairpins display fast two-state transitions with a two-fold increase in the opening rate to ≈2 s |
