Abstract:

A schiff base copper complex prepared through the condensation between tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde was characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, IR and HRMS. The interaction of the complex with culf thymus(CT-DNA) was investigated by UV spectra, viscosity measurements and DNA thermal denaturation experiments. The experimental results show that the mode of the complex bound to DNA is intercalation.

Key words: Copper complex, CT-DNA, inercalation
