Fluorescence quenching spectra of EB bound to CT-DNA by complexes 1 (a), 2 (b), and 3 (c). λex = 510 nm; DNA and EB concentrations were 1.0 × 10−5 and 1.0 × 10−5 M, and the complex concentrations were 0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0 × 10−5 M corresponding to the curves from 1 to 8, respectively. The arrow shows the intensity change on increasing the complex concentration.
