N2 - Resonance energy transfer between two cationic porphyrins, viz., (meso-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin and its zinc derivative, along a model DNA, poly(dA-dT) as a template is demonstrated. The rate of energy transfer (kEnT), quantum yield (ΦEnT), and critical transfer distance are evaluated to be 1.78 × 109 s -1, 0.74, and 23 Å, respectively, indicating efficient energy transfer process.
