The toxic interaction of melamine with herring sperm DNA (hs-DNA) was investigated by using fluorescence and UV-vis absorption spectra techniques. The experimental results showed that the toxic interaction between melamine and hs-DNA occurred. Fluorescence quenching experiments indicated the existence of electrostatic binding between melamine and hs-DNA. The binding constants K(A) and the binding site numbers were calculated by means of the Stern-Volmer equation and were 9.8 × 10(4) L mol(-1) and 1.3, respectively. Both the results of fluorescence spectra and UV-vis absorption spectra verified that there are electrostatic binding between melamine and hs-DNA. The possibility in the presence of a classical intercalation binding mode could be ruled out by using DNA unwinding experiments.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007364 Intercalating Agents Agents that are capable of inserting themselves between the successive bases in DNA, thus kinking, uncoiling or otherwise deforming it and therefore preventing its proper functioning. They are used in the study of DNA.

D012117 Resins, Synthetic Polymers of high molecular weight which at some stage are capable of being molded and then harden to form useful components. Dental Resins,Dental Resin,Resin, Dental,Resin, Synthetic,Resins, Dental,Synthetic Resin,Synthetic Resins
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005399 Fishes A group of cold-blooded, aquatic vertebrates having gills, fins, a cartilaginous or bony endoskeleton, and elongated bodies covered with scales.
D005453 Fluorescence The property of emitting radiation while being irradiated. The radiation emitted is usually of longer wavelength than that incident or absorbed, e.g., a substance can be irradiated with invisible radiation and emit visible light. X-ray fluorescence is used in diagnosis.
D000042 Absorption The physical or physiological processes by which substances, tissue, cells, etc. take up or take in other substances or energy.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
