Abstract: | The noncovalent interaction of the cyanine dyes Cyan 2 and Cyan 45 with DNA (in a pH 7 phosphate buffer) was studied by spectral
and fluorescent methods. Upon titration of dye solutions with a concentrated DNA solution, a drop in the absorption band of
the initial dye, a long-wavelength shift, and a rise of the absorption of the dye bound to DNA occur. Simultaneously, a growth
of dye fluorescence is observed. Mathematical modeling of the fluorescence growth has been performed on the basis of the formation
of one or two types of dye complexes with DNA. The experimental results are adequately described by the model involving one
type of the dye-DNA complex. It is shown that Cyan 2 binds to DNA probably as the cis-isomer, whereas Cyan 45 as the trans-isomer. |
