Abstract：
:S1 nuclease hydrolysis and benzoylated naphthoylated DEAE cellulose (BND-cellulose) chromatography have been used to study the effect of riboflavin and visible light on DNA. Native calf thymus DNA was incubated with riboflavin in the presence of fluorescent light for various time periods and subjected to S1 nuclease hydrolysis. An increasing degree of DNA degradation was seen suggesting a destabilization of the secondary structure. A decrease in melting temperature was also observed. Incubation with riboflavin and illumination caused adherence to BND-cellulose indicating the production of single stranded regions or breaks in the native double stranded molecules. However, when incubation was done in dark and in the presence of triplet excited state quencher, potassium iodide, a reduced adherence of DNA to BND-cellulose was seen. Plasmid pBR322 DNA was also treated with riboflavin under these conditions and subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis. No degradation could be seen in dark incubated and potassium iodide treated samples. These results indicate that the adherence of DNA to BND-cellulose in dark is possibly due to the binding of aromatic residues to the resin suggesting the formation of a complex between riboflavin and DNA.
