C. Mandal, S. W. Englander, and N. R. Kallenbach* abstract: The interaction between DNA and the interca-lating dye, ethidium bromide, was studied by use of a novel approach in which hydrogen-deuterium (HD) exchange between ethidium amino groups and solvent was measured spectrophotometrically in a stopped-flow mode. The method depends on the fact that ethidiumH exchange is greatly slowed on complexation with DNA and that HD exchange kinetics of the chromophore can be monitored via an accompanying change in its spectral absorbance. The HD exchange dependent spectral character of ethidium was characterized, and the catalyzed exchange behavior of the free dye and the dye-DNA complex was studied. From such measurements, one can obtain rate and equilibrium constants for the inter-action and possibly also some stereochemical information. The constants obtained were checked in more conventional mixing experiments. At 20 C in high salt, the equilibrium binding constant is~ 5 X 104 M'\and on and off rate constants are 1.6 X 10s M'1 s'1 and 30s'1, respectively. The results independently confirm that one dye molecule is bound for each 2-2.5 base pairs. The method should be applicable to a range of binding interactions. Among other advantages, this approach can allow tight binding interactions to be studied at concentrations of the reactants far above thecharacteristic value. is paper reports on studies of the intercalative binding of the trypanocidal dye ethidium bromide to DNA. In stop-ped-flow experiments, we monitored the hydrogen-deuterium exchange of amino protons in ethidium (structure shown in Figure 2) by means of an absorbance change in the visible spectrum near 540 nm. The results yield equilibrium and kinetic constants for complexation of ethidium by DNA, and these constants were validated in more conventional stopped-flow mixing experiments.Information about complexes between ligands and macro-molecules has been most often derived from binding studies that rely either on partitioning free ligandfrom bound ligand or on establishing a spectroscopic feature of the complex that is distinct from the free forms. The present work shows that the stopped-flow kinetic measurement of exchangeable hydrogens of a chromophoric ligand can be used to determine both equilibrium and kinetic parameters of complexation and may indirectly provide information about the stereochemistry of binding interactions in the complex.
