Abstract
The interaction of Cu2+, Mn2+ and Ca2+ ions with the DNA macromolecule was studied in aqueous solutions at different metal ion concentrations. All these ions interact with both the bases and the phosphate groups of DNA. Cu2+ ions alter the DNA B-conformation at [Cu2+] > 2 × 10−2M. Metal ions binding to DNA induce DNA compactisation. The highly positive cooperativity of this process was shown. The binding constants and parameters of cooperativity of the metal ions binding to DNA were estimated.
