title: The interaction of DNA with quinacrine and its analogs studied by absorption and circular dichroism spectroscopy.
abstract: The interaction of DNA with quinacrine and its analogs has been studied by absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The results indicate that the 2-alkoxy group of the acridine ring plays an important role in the spectral behavior which depends on the base composition of DNA.
