EFFECT OF DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID ON THE FLUORESCENCE OF ACRIDINE DYES

Abstract

The interaction of deoxyribonucleic acid and several acridine dyes has been studied fluorometrically. The data indicate that two complexes form when the acridine is substituted in the 2,7- and/or 3,6-positions by amino and/ or alkylamino groups. A model is proposed for the two complexes, utilizing the intercalation and aggregation theories for deoxyribonucleic acid and acridine dye interaction.
