We report in this paper that the binding of coumarin 6 (C6) to DNA can be tuned by complexing it with host structures, viz. [beta]-cyclodextrin ([beta]-CD) and C-hexylpyrogallol-4-arene (C-HPA). Because host molecules are used as carriers of small molecules onto target sites, the exposed part of the...
