Abstract

The circular dichroism spectra of complexes of the antibiotics daunomycin, nogalamycin, chromomycin, and mithramycin with calf thymus DNA have been measured over a range of drug/DNA ratios. The similarity of the CD spectra of bound chromomycin and mithramycin suggests that they have very similar binding sites, which produce strong effects on the CD spectra of the bound drugs, and remove the differences arising from local stereochemistry in the free drugs. It was found that it was not possible to predict whether the antibiotics intercalated, from studies of the CD spectra alone, even when comparisons were made with the CD spectra of aminoacridine–DNA complexes with intercalating or nonintercalating ligands.
