Prevention of H-Aggregates Formation in Cy5 Labeled Macromolecules

<table>Absorption (solid lines) and fluorescence spectra (dashed lines) of PAH-Cy5 A (black), PAH-Cy5 B (grey) and Cy5 free dye (light grey) measured in aqueous solution. The concentration of the solutions is set to the absorption maximum. The fluorescence spectra are taken with <svg height="16.450001" id="M58" style="vertical-align:-3.39069pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 20.799999 16.450001" width="20.799999" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
