Abstract
A Monte Carlo method is presented to calculate equilibria for the binding of ligands to one‐dimensional heteropolymers. Equivalency with other methods suitable for particular cases was verified (i.e., matrix and combinatorial methods). The principal interest of this Monte Carlo method is in its facility for adaptation to any physically conceivable binding model and that it gives access to the parameters accounting for partial binding to each different type of site. General properties of binding isotherms with excluded‐site effects and relations between partial binding ratios and partial free site ratios are discussed. An effective calculation is presented for illustration of the method.

We present the general secular equation for three-state lattice models for the cooperative binding of large ligands to a one-dimensional lattice. In addition, a closed-form expression for the isotherm is also obtained, that can be used with all values of the cooperativity parameter w ( 0 < w < 03) t
## Abstract A temperature‐jump relaxation study of the interaction of tilorone with different polynucleotides and DNA has been performed. A single relaxation time, attributed to the intercalation step, has been observed in the case of poly[d(A‐T)]·poly[d(A‐T)], poly[d(A‐C)]·poly[d(G‐T)], poly[d(G‐C
