Abstract

The binding of Mg^2+^ and Mn^2+^ by DNA by a divalent cation specific electrode and by ultracentrifugation. Both techniques give similar results for the stoichiometry of the reaction. An oscillating densiemete allowed us to detect small changes of volume accompanying the binding. The reaction was also followed by circular dichroism measurements. Interpretation of the results is only possible if one assumes an electrostate site‐binding of Mg^2+^ to phosphate group, and a chelation Mn^2+^ between the phosphate group and the N~7~ of the guanine. Physical modifications accompanying these two types of binding are discused and compared to the role of these cations in some biological systems involving DNA.

## Abstract It has been inferred from previous studies that Mn^2+^ ions bind preferentially to GΒ·C base pairs in DNA, and it has even been suggested that this preference for GΒ·C pairs might be responsible for some of the Mn^2+^ specific effects observed in various biochemical reactions.

## Abstract DNA with Mn^2+^ as the only counterion has been prepared, and the extent of the Mn^2+^ binding was determined under a variety of conditions through measurements of the proton relaxation enhancement of water. The total extent of Mn^2+^ binding per DNA phosphate is found to be 0.43 Β± 0.04

The interactions between pefloxacin (antimicrobial agent), magnesium, and DNA single or double strand are studied by UV/Vis and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopies at biological active concentrations: pefloxacin 2 1 10 06 , DNA 2 1 10 05 , and Mg 2/ 10 03 M. Pefloxacin interacts with Mg 2/ via its
