The interaction of the LCu(ClO4)2 [L=bis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine] with calf thymus DNA has been investigated using UV spectra, fluorescent spectra, and viscosity. Hypochromism was observed in the UV spectra of DNA in the presence of the complex, and decreased fluorescence was observed for complex with native and denatured DNA addition. The relative viscosity of DNA decreased with addition of the complex. The Scatchard plots show uncompetitive inhibition of EB binding to DNA. The experimental results show that the mode of binding of the complex to DNA is electrostatical binding.

Key words: bis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine, calf thymus DNA, Scatchard plot, electrostatical binding
