Caffeine-induced release of small molecules from DNA nanostructures
Summary: Several planar aromatic molecules are known to intercalate between base pairs of double-stranded DNA. This mode of interaction has been used to stain DNA as well as to load drug molecules onto DNA-based nanostructures.

DNA intercalation and cleavage of an antitumor antibiotic dynemicin that contains anthracycline and enediyne cores [PDF]
Dynemicin is a hybrid containing anthraquinone and enediyne cores, which contribute to binding and cleavage of DNA, respectively. DNA strand scission by the antitumor antibiotic is significantly enhanced by the addition of NADPH or thiol compounds.
