Abstract The interaction of an organophosphorus insecticide methylparathion (O.O-dimethyl 0-4-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate) with double-stranded DNA was characterized by UV and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Two kinds of DNA were employed: calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) and a synthetic two-stranded oligomer of sequence 5′-d(TTGGATCCGAATT-CAAGCTT)-3′ Melting curves and CD spectra were taken for the DNAs in the presence of the insecticide at methylparathion/DNA base pair molar ratio of 0.5. The insecticide evoked a decrease of the melting temperature and a broadening of the transition range for CT DNA. Similar effects were observed for the synthetic oligomer but they were less pronounced than in the case of CT DNA. Methylparathion evoked a slight shift and an increase in the amplitude of the negative band in the CD spectra of both DNAs. Obtained results indicate that methylparathion may perturb the thermal stability and conformation of DNA, which is an evidence that the insecticide has an ability to interact directly with DNA.

Background: The processes of destruction and crosslinking of macromolecules occur simultaneously under the influence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in synthetic polymers, dry DNA and their concentrated solutions. Objective: The effect of UV radiation on calf thymus DNA in dilute solutions subjected to UV- irradiation was studied in this work. Method: The calf thymus DNA was studied in dilute solutions using viscometry, absorption spectroscopy and electrophoresis. Results: It was shown, that at a low concentration of DNA in the buffer solution ([DNA] = 85 μg / ml) under the influence of UV radiation, the processes of destruction of macromolecules and an increase in their flexibility predominate, which is accompanied by a gradual decrease in the viscosity of their solution. In addition, due to the low concentration of the solution, intramolecular crosslinking of macromolecules predominates, which also reduces their size and, consequently, the viscosity of the solution. Conclusion: It was concluded, that in dilute DNA solutions, due to the predominance of the processes of intramolecular crosslinking of macromolecules over intermolecular, only constant processes of decreasing the sizes of DNA macromolecules occur. As a result, its solubility remains virtually unchanged during UV irradiation. The described comments are also excellently confirmed by the results of absorption spectroscopy and electrophoresis

Ce(IV) ions in acidic medium convert a carcinogenic non-aminoazo dye, 1-phenylazo-2-hydroxy-naphthalene (Sudan I) into an ultimate carcinogen, which binds to calf thymus DNA. The principal product of Sudan I oxidation by the Ce(IV) system is the benzenediazonium ion. A minor product is the dihydroxyderivative of Sudan I, 1-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)-2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene. Other minor coloured products (yellow and brown) were not identified. The principal product (the benzenediazonium ion) is responsible for the carcinogenicity of Sudan I, as it covalently binds to DNA. Ce(IV) ions in acidic medium represent a suitable model system, which imitates the activation route of carcinogenic azo dyes.
