Anisotropy of torsional strength of the splitted electronic transition in the case of chromophore-chromophore interaction of dye molecules situated on the helical matrix was considered theoretically and as analytical expression for the value Rperpendicular/Rparallel was obtained. These theoretical results were compared with the experimental data obtained with DNA-proflavine, DNA-pyronine and DNA-acridine orange complexes oriented in multicappilar flow-cell. Studies of the optical effects (optical density and CD changes) due to orientation of these complexes showed that the acridine chromophores are not perpendicular with respect to the DNA axis (alpha D = 19--22 degrees). The DNA base pairs in complexes as assumed also are not perpendicular to the DNA axis, the inclination angle of their transition moments (for the band near 260 nm) being bigger than that of dye chromophores (24 degrees). These results indicate that under experimental conditions used by us no intercalation can be observed.

D004214 Distamycins Oligopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces distallicus. Their binding to DNA inhibits synthesis of nucleic acids.
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).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
