## Abstract DNA thermal denaturation has been investigated in aqueous solutions of diethylsulfoxide (DESO) by means of UVβvis and densimetry methods. It is suggested that, on the one hand, the structural change of entire solutions and, on the other hand, a direct interaction of DESO with DNA are re

β¦ Synopsis
The results of electrophoresis experiments on aqueous solutions of native and thermally denatured DNA are reported. A significant decrease of the electrophoretic mobility has been observed following thermal denaturation, which under suitable conditions gives rise t o a resolution into two peaks of 1 : 1 mixtures in the electrophoretic pattern. This result is entirely consistent with the previously reported increase of the activity coefficient of sodium counterions following thermal denaturation. The hypothesis that thermal denaturation of calf thymus DNA induces a large decrease of charge density on the macroion which has been ascribed to the population of more extended conformations of the chains in the disordered region of the molecule is therefore further confirmed.

In order to evaluate the influence of pKa on electrophoretic mobility (EM), two novel series of synthetic flavonoids comprising eight monohydroxyflavones and four tri-0-methylluteolins were studied. In this way the effect of varying molecular size on EM was eliminated in each series. A linear relati
