Ultrafast intramolecular electron transfer results from the excitation of the pyrene-modified nucleoside 1. The dynamics and pH dependence of this process were investigated by steady-state fluorescence and femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. These studies suggest that reductive electron transfer through DNA is not coupled to protonation.
