Primary source abstract: "Evidence for an internal oscillatory Brownian motion in the DNA helix is obtained from the measurement of the decay of the fluorescence emission anisotropy of the ethidium bromide-DNA complex." |
| Comments |
P.1009 3rd paragraph: "The fluorescence depolarization of intercalated ethidium bromide demonstrated the existence of twisting and bending motions of the double helix occurring on a time scale of 10^-8 seconds (primary source). The dynamics of a bead-spring model (refs 102, 103) and an elastic continuum model (ref 102) have been developed in order to gain an understanding of the motions that contribute to the depolarization of fluorescence." |
