The present study sought to evaluate the interaction between aflatoxin G1 and free DNA in vitro through different analytical techniques. The UV-visible spectra results showed that the structure of DNA might be changed with a new aflatoxin G1-DNA complex forming, which indicated that the interacting mode between them was the intercalating mode. The DNA melting temperature increased by 12.80 °C, suggesting that the DNA double helix structure was more compact and stable through intercalation. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra results indicated that the interaction of aflatoxin G1 with DNA induced the DNA base stacking changes. The results of agarose gel electrophoresis and fluorescence microscope further verified that the interacting mode between aflatoxin G1 and DNA was intercalation mode. According to the fluorescence spectrum data, the binding constant was calculated 6.24 × 104 L·mol-1. The thermodynamic results demonstrated that the reaction of aflatoxin G1 intercalating to DNA was a spontaneous reaction. The elimination results suggested that aflatoxin G1 could be enriched and removed by DNA intercalation through magnetic beads separation, with the removal efficiency of 93.73%. The study results would provide a theoretical basis for establishing a new aflatoxin removal method based on DNA intercalation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002942 Circular Dichroism A change from planar to elliptic polarization when an initially plane-polarized light wave traverses an optically active medium. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Circular Dichroism, Vibrational,Dichroism, Circular,Vibrational Circular Dichroism
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).

D000348 Aflatoxins Furano-furano-benzopyrans that are produced by ASPERGILLUS from STERIGMATOCYSTIN. They are structurally related to COUMARINS and easily oxidized to an epoxide form to become ALKYLATING AGENTS. Members of the group include AFLATOXIN B1; aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, aflatoxin G2; AFLATOXIN M1; and aflatoxin M2. Aflatoxin
