TLDR
Analysis of UV-visible absorbance spectra and fluorescence spectra indicates the formation of complex between coumarin and Ct-DNA, and observation of effect of ionic strength, iodide induced quenching, and competitive binding assay with ethidium bromide, acridine orange and Hoechst 33258 reflected that cou marin possibly binds to the minor groove of the Ct- DNA.

Studying non-covalent drug-DNA interactions.

TL;DR: This review focuses on discussing various techniques used to study non-covalent interactions that occur between drugs and DNA and reports several techniques that may be employed to analyse the binding mode of a drug with DNA.

Multi-spectroscopic and molecular modelling studies on the interaction of esculetin with calf thymus DNA.

TL;DR: The strong dependence on ionic strength in controlling the binding of esculetin with Ct-DNA confirms the possibility of electrostatic interaction.

Deciphering the interactions between chlorambucil and calf thymus DNA: a multi-spectroscopic and molecular docking study.

TL;DR: Chlorambucil was found to interact via external binding mode and follow groove binding as it replaces Hoechst (a typical groove binder) from the groove of DNA but does not replace intercalating dyes including ethidium bromide and acridine orange from the DNA helix.

Structural considerations in the interaction of DNA and acridines.

TL;DR: The proposed structural change is compatible with the normal restrictions on bond lengths, angles, and non-bonded contacts, and maintenance of the hydrogen- bonded base pairs perpendicular to the axis of the molecule.

Recognition and reaction of metallointercalators with DNA.

TL;DR: A more complete understanding of how to target DNA sites with specificity will lead not only to novel chemotherapeutics but also to a greatly expanded ability for chemists to probe DNA and to develop highly sensitive diagnostic agents.
