摘要
The interaction of berberine chloride with poly(A) and tRNA has been studied by various spectroscopic techniques. Binding parameters determined from spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric measurements by Scatchard analysis indicate a very high effective binding capacity of berberine to poly(A) as compared to DNA or tRNA. The circular dichroism studies show that binding of berberine to poly(A) causes a significant change in the circular dichroic spectrum of poly(A) itself, as manifested by (i) a decrease of both positive and negative bands and (ii) appearance of a conservative type of extrinsic circular dichroic spectrum in the wavelength range of 300-400 nm, while it does not cause any significant alteration to the A form structure of tRNA. It is concluded that berberine interacts stronger with poly (A) than DNA or tRNA. The results are interpreted in terms of its reported biological activities. © 1990.
