## Abstract Bradley et al. [(1972) __Biopolymers__ **11**, 645–652] used electro‐optical measurements to show that methylene blue (MB), like acridine orange, in its DNA complex is oriented more or less perpendicular to the helix axis as expected if intercalated. High‐precision flow linear dichroism

## Abstract We have studied the denaturation of DNA by linear dichroism (LD) techniques in the following systems: (1) in aqueous solution at low pH, (2) in 90% (w/w) ethylene glycol and in 90% glycerol solutions, and (3) in a matrix of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). We report that denatured DNA at low io
The study of the monomeric chromophore of the distamycins reported in Ref. 1 was used here to build up a description of the electronic states of the whole oligopeptide by the exciton theory. Liquid crystal-linear dichroism (LC-LD) spectra of the distamycins were recorded by using as orienting solven
Conditions were studied under which aggregated complexes of histone F1 with DNA display a circular dichroic spectrum of nonconservat.ive type characterized by two intense negative maxima a t 269 nm and 209 nm. It was found that the intensity of the longwave band depends directly on the content of gu
