Laser-Induced Fluorescence of Biological Molecules

  • Conference paper
Tunable Lasers and Applications

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 3))

Abstract

A study is made of the laser-induced fluorescence properties of the complex formed by Quinacrine Mustard bound to Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA). Specific information is obtained on the binding mechanisms and on the base-pair sequences of the DNA. The relevance of these measurements in several fields from chemical physics to biology and medecine is discussed.
