Circular Dichroism and Absorption Spectra of Mono- and Di-Aminoacridines Complexed to DNA
نویسندگان
چکیده
The absorption and circular dichroism spectra of the intercalation complexes with DNA of the 9-aminoacridine chromophore in monoand bisfunctional forms have been determined in the visible/near-ultraviolet region. The experimental spectra were deconvoluted into contributions from three (It*, n) transitions and the dipole and rotatory strengths of one long-axis and one shortaxis polarized transition were determined for each intercalating species. The experimental results were compared with theoretical calculations of the induced CD of intercalation complexes and a series. of inferences were drawn concerning the geometry of the complexes.

This study compares some physical properties of DNA in native chromatin and mono-, di-, trinucleosomes obtained after mild micrococcal nuclease digestion. Melting curves and derivatives are shown to be very similar from one sample to another although a shift from 79 to 82 degrees C is observed between the mainly monophasic peak of multimers and chromatin. Careful analysis of the positive band o...

We have studied the UV-vis absorption and chiroptical properties, binding affinity and photostability of a conjugated positively charged butadiyne-linked Zn(ii) porphyrin dimer bound to DNA sequence poly(dG-dC)2. Right-handed B-DNA, spermine-induced Z-DNA and Co(iii)-induced Z-DNA have been explored. Resonance light scattering (RLS) spectra showed formation of porphyrin aggregates in the presen...
