Abstract
The interaction of metal complex with RNA has been studied by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) for the first time. ITC experiments show that complex [Ru(phen)2MPIP]^2+^ {phen=1,10โphenanthroline, MPIP=2โ(4โmethylphenyl)imidazo[4,5โf]โ1,10โphenanthroline} interacts with yeast tRNA in terms of a model for a single set of identical sites through intercalation, which is consistent with our previous observation obtained from spectroscopic methods, and this binding process was driven by a moderately favorable enthalpy decrease in combination with a moderately favorable entropy increase, suggesting that ITC is an effective method for deep studying the interactions of metal complexes with RNA.
