The dimerization equilibrium has studied at pH = 7.0, I 2.5 mM, and T 25 °C. A thermodynamic kinetic study doxorubicin DNA, carried out by circular dichroism, viscometry, differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence, isothermal titration T-jump relaxation measurements, enabled us characterize for first time two different...
