Abstract: | The theory of the cooperative transition of DNA.ligand complexes have been developed, in which a model was implied where the multimodal ligands simultaneously interacted with DNA. Obtained formula express the dependence of the experimentally estimated values of the changes of transition point and width of transition on the concentration of the ligands. These expressions make possible to obtain the thermodynamic parameters of the interaction of the multimodal ligands with DNA (binding constants, number of base pairs corresponding to one binding site of DNA etc.) by comparing the theoretical and the experimental data. |
