title: Study of the reaction between the nucleic acid and Y-BPMPHD-CTMAB complex and its analytical application.
abstract: The fluorescence quenching of the Y-BPMPHD-CTMAB by nucleic acids is reported. It is considered that the Y-BPMPHD-CTMAB can form a large complex with nucleic acid through the electrostatic attraction in the pH range of 4.2-6.8. Under optimal conditions, the difference of fluorescence intensity between the system without and with nucleic acids is proportional to the concentration of nucleic acids over the range of 4.5 x 10(-8)-1.2 x 10(-5) g/mL for fsDNA and 3.2 x 10(-8)-3.0 x 10(-5) g/mL for yRNA, respectively. The detection limits are 14.0 ng/mL for fsDNA and 21.0 ng/mL for yRNA. The method is applied for the determination of nucleic acids in actual sample, and the result obtained is satisfactory.
