Abstract

A previous experimental study of the role of hydrophobic interactions on so-called stacking forces (of considerable interest in the conformational stability of nucleic acids) is here extended by considering alcohol solvent perturbation, as probed by dye self-association. The monomer–dimer equilibrium of Methylene Blue in aqueous solutions of methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol has been studied using spectrophotometric techniques, microprocessor-based data acquisition and computer-aided data processing.
