β¦ Synopsis
UV absorption studies on weak interactions of adenine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil with cathechol in aqueous solutions containing 0.1 N HCl gave evidence for the formation of charge transfer complexes. The absorptions of these complexes were found in the UV region at longer wavelengths than those of the pure components. It was possible to calculate various thermodynamic parameters and molar extinction coefficients at different wavelengths. The biological significance of the results is discussed.

Raman difference spectroscopy combined with isotope editing procedures were employed to obtain the Raman spectra of phosphates, nucleotides, nucleic acids and their fragments when bound to several proteins. The vibrational spectra were analyzed using a variety of empirical and ab initio methods to r
