One famous intercalation host is graphite, which intercalates potassium as a guest. [3] Intercalation expands the van der Waals gap between sheets, which requires energy. Usually this energy is supplied by charge transfer between the guest and the host solid, i.e., redox. Two potassium graphite compounds are KC 8 and KC 24.
Intercalation may refer to: Intercalation (chemistry) , insertion of a molecule (or ion) into layered solids such as graphite Intercalation (timekeeping) , insertion of a leap day, week or month into some calendar years to make the calendar follow the seasons
Intercalation induces structural distortions. Left: unchanged DNA strand. Right: DNA strand intercalated at three locations (black areas). In biochemistry, intercalation is the insertion of molecules between the planar bases of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This process is used as a method for analyzing DNA and it is also the basis of certain ...
[11] [12] After intercalation, the sample can be photoactivated by absorbing energy during irradiation with short wavelength light. [1] This activation causes the metallo-intercalator's photooxidative properties to induce a cleavage of the sugar phosphate backbone at the site of mismatch through a radical mechanism.
The layered structure of graphite allows some molecules to be intercalated in between the graphite layers. Through incorporation of acids, usually sulfuric acid graphite can be converted into expandable graphite. [2]

Based on the properties of intercalating molecules, i.e. fluorescing upon binding to DNA and unwinding of DNA base-pairs, in 2016, a single-molecule technique has been introduced to directly visualize individual plectonemes along supercoiled DNA [5] which would further allow to study the interactions of DNA processing proteins with supercoiled DNA.
