Fluorescence study of DNA binding and bending by EcoRI DNA methyltransferase
Article Abstract:
The fluorescence anisotropy and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) techniques were applied to study the interaction between EcoRI DNA methyltransferase (M.EcoRI) and its target DNA in solution. The results showed that M.EcoRI had a higher binding affinity to the short dsDNA strand than to the long one, and its binding to DNA was primarily entropy-driven.

Selective interactions of a few acridinium derivatives with single strand DNA: Study of photophysical and DNA binding interactions
Article Abstract:
The study results of acridinium derivatives indicate that they exhibit high solubility in buffer medium and efficiently distinguish between ssDNA and dsDNA through changes in fluorescence intensity and could have applications in fluorescent probes to understand various DNA-ligand interactions.
