Analysis of DNA-ethidiumbromide complex by Linear dichroism (LD) (CAT#: STEM-ST-0133-WXH)

Introduction

Ethidium bromide is commonly used as a non-radioactive marker for identifying and visualizing nucleic acid bands in electrophoresis. It fluoresces readily with a reddish-brown color when exposed to ultraviolet. light, intensifying almost 20-fold after binding to DNA.

Principle

Linear dichroism (LD) or diattenuation is the difference between absorption of light polarized parallel and polarized perpendicular to an orientation axis. It is the property of a material whose transmittance depends on the orientation of linearly polarized light incident upon it. LD measurements are based on the interaction between matter and light and thus are a form of electromagnetic spectroscopy.

Applications

Study the functionality and structure of molecules.

Materials

• Polarizer
• Absorbance spectrometer
