文摘By making use of the fluorescence quenching properties of safranine T(ST) in its long range assembly on the molecular surfaces of nucleic acids, the assembly number and constant of ST with calf thymus DNA, fish sperm DNA and yeast RNA were determined at 12℃. The corresponding free energy change, enthalpy change and entropy change of the long range assembly were calculated at the same temperature. It was found the assembly complexes are very stable and the assembly is a spontaneous process characterized an entropy increase.
