Electrochemical investigations of DNA-Intercalation potency of bisnitrophenoxy compounds with different alkyl chain lengths

Abstract

- spacer in its structure. The spontaneity of dsDNA-binding was revealed by the negative ΔG values for interaction of all the compounds. Moreover, binding parameters from thermodynamic and kinetic studies also corresponded to the threading intercalation mode of interaction, which itself points to the potency of the envisioned drug-like molecules.
