electrophoresis, we have purified these hybrid sequences into single
molecular weight polymers corresponding to chromophoric dimers
( 2B , C ), trimers ( 3B , C ), tetramers ( 4B , C ), and pentamers ( 5B , C )

linked via ssDNAs.

by mutated NF- B site having no hybridization in the DNA

loops (a) and chromophoric pentamer ( ) surrounded

by DNA hairpin structures (b and c) that can be unfolded
through binding to the complementary DNA (d).
