Abstract

The interaction of methylene blue (MB) and acridine orange (AO) with poly(rA)-poly(rU) was studied using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy methods. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of complexes of these ligands with a polynucleotide were obtained, similar to those of complexes of these ligands with double-stranded (ds-) DNA. It was revealed that the isosbestic point in the spectra of the AO-poly(rA)-poly(rU) and MB-poly(rA)-poly(rU) complexes is not formed, although the binding of AO and MB with ds-RNA by intercalation mode is not excluded.
