Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized by microwave-assisted coprecipitation. The effects of MNPs on the calf thymus DNA (ct DNA) were investigated by UV-vis spectra, Raman spectra and Agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively. UV-vis spectra revealed the hyperchromic effect on ct DNA due to the exposure of basic group that induced by MNPs. Raman spectra indicated that the basic group, ribodesose and backbone were disturbed in the presence of MNPs. However, Agarose gel electrophoresis confirmed that DNA melting or DNA strand break have not occurred under the influence of MNPs. The research had great significance for the safety application of MNPs in bio-medical field.

Key words: magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, calf thymus DNA, microwave-assisted, hyperchromic effect, Raman spectra
