The interaction of Hoechst 33258 with DNA has been examined to help clarify the mechanisms of banding. 1. In agreement with previous studies Hoechst fluorescence is enhanced to a greater degree in AT-rich compared to GC-rich DNA. 2. Hoechst causes an increase in the DNA Tm which is greater at the hi

The binding of methylene blue to DNA and chromatin treated in various ways was examined by equilibrium dialysis. The maximum r value (moles of bound dye/mole of nucleotide) was 1.0 for DNA, 0.6 for unfixed chromatin, and 0.83 for chromatin fixed in methanol-acetic acid. When fixed chromatin was trea
Prior studies on subfractions of mouse and Kangaroo rat DNA have suggested that variations in base concentration within a given genome may not be great enough to account for Q-banding. To examine this with another species, calf DNA was subfractionated by CsCl ultracentrifugation into GC-rich satelli
