| Abstract | The sequence specificity of the intercalative DNA damage of the phenothiazine dye thionine has been investigated by absorbance, fluorescence, circular dichroism and viscosity studies using four synthetic polynucleotides, poly(dA-dT)·poly(dA-dT), poly(dA)·poly(dT), poly(dG-dC)·poly(dG-dC) and poly(dG)·poly(dC). Strong hypochromic-bathochromic effects in absorbance and quenching in fluorescence were observed that showed strong binding of thionine to these polynucleotides. Scatchard plots revealed non-cooperative binding and analysis by McGhee-von Hippel equation provided the affinity values in the order of 10(5)M(-1). The binding clearly revealed the high preference of thionine to the alternating GC sequences followed by the homo GC sequences. The AT polynucleotides had lower binding affinities but the alternating AT sequences had higher affinity compared to the homo stretches. The results of ferrocyanide quenching studies in fluorescence and viscosity experiments conclusively proved the intercalation of thionine while circular dichroic studies provided evidence for the structural perturbations associated with the sequence specific intercalative binding. The sequence specificity of the intercalative damage of thionine to deoxyribonucleic acid is advanced from this study. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
