Electrochemical and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopic studies on the interaction of deoxyribonucleic acid with vitamin B6.

Studies on the interaction of DNA with vitamin B(6) were carried out with a DNA-modified electrode by electrochemistry and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The results showed that there exists the supra-molecule interaction between base groups on DNA and vitamin B(6) by forming hydrogen binding, the binding equilibrium constant of the interaction is equal to 115.3 M(-1), the binding ratio of nucleotide to vitamin B(6) is 5:1. Based on the electrochemical and Ultraviolet-visible spectrum studies the interaction mode of DNA with vitamin B(6) was explored.
