An interesting observation reported in our previous studies (1,2) is that, on binding to nucleic acids (NA) the dye, ethidium bromide (EB) increases its fluorescence quantum efficiency by a factor of 20 to 25. In consequence of the EB absorption spectrum shift on binding, for a suitably chosen wavel

Analysis of the products of the RNA-directed DNA polymerase reaction using glycerol-substituted polyacrylamide gels has proven superior to the glycerol gradient method for quantitative assay of a series of nucleic acid samples. To overcome the phenomenon of a smearing of background radioactive count
In the DNA and RNA assays carried out with the use of ethidium bromide in cell and tissue homogenates according to the method of Karsten and Wollenberger (1). Pronase can be replaced to advantage by heparin in the nucleoprotein dissociation step. Furthermore, rhodamine B is used as a standard instea
