Abstract
DNA groove-binding and intercalative binding modes of anthracene-9-carbonyl-N1-spermine have been probed using linear and circular dichroism, and normal absorption techniques. Despite its lower positive charge, anthracene-9-carbonyl-N1-spermine stabilises DNA more than does spermine and significantly more than spermidine. Data interpretation has been facilitated by molecular modelling.
