Ru-TAP complexes and DNA: from photo-induced electron transfer to gene photo-silencing in living cells.

In this review, examples of applications of the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) process between photo-oxidizing Ru-TAP (TAP = 1,4,5,8-tetraazaphenanthrene) complexes and DNA or oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) are discussed.
