The isolation of harmane and norharmane from tobacco and cigarette smoke

E.H. Poindexter, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1962 - 
TL;DR: Harmane and norharmane were isolated from cured tobacco and its smoke and the addition of radioactive tryptophan to the tobacco resulted in the isolation of radioactive harmane alkaloids in the smoke, establishing the presence of indole alkaloid in tobacco.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions of norharman and harman with DNA

TL;DR: Agarose gel electrophoresis of circular DNA, closed in the presence or absence of norharman revealed that the dye intercalates DNA, thereby causing 17 +/- 3 degrees unwinding of the double helix.
