Abstract: | Electronic excitation energy transfer between molecules of carbocyanine dyes noncovalently bound to DNA was studied. 3,3′,9-Triethyl-5,5′-dimethyloxacarbocyanine
iodide and 3,3′-dimethyl-9-ethyloxacarbocyanine iodide were used as energy donors, and 3,3′-diethylthiacarbocyanine iodide
served as an acceptor dye. The fluorescence decay kinetics of the donors and its quenching by the acceptor in the presence
of DNA were measured. The microphase model was used for interpretation of the experimental data, with allowance for concentrating
dye molecules in the vicinity of DNA molecules. |
