The interaction of the fluorescent dye thiazole orange (TO) with nucleic acids is characterized. It is found that TO binds with highest affinity to double-stranded (ds) DNA [log(K) ร 5.5 at 100 mM salt], about 5-10 times weaker to single-stranded polypurines, and further 10-1000 times weaker to sing
