Functional Supramolecular Systems

Group Research

DNA modification and DNA sensing

In our group we have developed anthracene modified DNA probes which are capable of sensing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP).

Ferrocene Nucleic Acids

Recently we have fully synthesised a ferrocene nucleic acid (FcNA) oligomer using automated DNA synthesis which displays quasi-reversible redox behaviour.

Electrochemical chiral sensors

We have demonstrated the principle of enantiomeric excess determination using electrochemistry.

Molecular motion in aziridine switches

Over the past few years, we have studied molecular motion in the form of nitrogen inversion in aziridines.
