The equilibrium binding of the carcinogens N-hydroxy-N-acetyl-2-amino-fluorene (HAAF) and 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (NQO) to phi X174RF DNA have been studied by phase partition techniques. Both molecules bind in a cooperative manner with only a few carcinogen molecules binding to each phi X174RF DNA molecule. The binding data for both HAAF and NQO fit a model in which two carcinogens cluster into a small number of sites--four sites for HAAF and twelve sites for NQO. Phase partition techniques were also used to study the binding of actinomycin D to both calf thymus DNA and poly (dG-dC) . poly (dG-dC) at much lower r values than had been previously reported. These data exhibit humped Scatchard plots which are indicative of cooperative binding; the overall shape of the Scatchard plots are consistent with a model for drug induced allosteric transitions in the DNA structure. The cooperativity in the actinomycin D binding to calf thymus DNA increases with decreasing sodium chloride concentration, suggesting a role for DNA flexibility in allosteric binding.
