  2. Nucleic acid quantitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_quantitation

    Contamination by phenol can significantly contribute to overestimation of DNA concentration. Absorption at 230 nm can be caused by contamination by phenolate ion, thiocyanates, and other organic compounds. For a pure RNA sample, the A 230:260:280 should be around 1:2:1, and for a pure DNA sample, the A 230:260:280 should be around 1:1.8:1. [9]

  3. Absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_spectroscopy

    The infrared absorption spectrum of NASA laboratory sulfur dioxide ice is compared with the infrared absorption spectra of ices on Jupiter's moon, Io credit NASA, Bernard Schmitt, and UKIRT. Absorption spectroscopy is useful in chemical analysis [5] because of its specificity and its quantitative nature. The specificity of absorption spectra ...

  4. Hyperchromicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperchromicity

    The most famous example is the hyperchromicity of DNA that occurs when the DNA duplex is denatured. [1] The UV absorption is increased when the two single DNA strands are being separated, either by heat or by addition of denaturant or by increasing the pH level. The opposite, a decrease of absorbance is called hypochromicity.

  5. Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet–visible...

    An example of a UV-Vis readout. UV-Vis can be used to monitor structural changes in DNA. [8]UV-Vis spectroscopy is routinely used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of diverse analytes or sample, such as transition metal ions, highly conjugated organic compounds, and biological macromolecules.

  6. Spectrophotometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrophotometry

    Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy involves energy levels that excite electronic transitions. Absorption of UV-vis light excites molecules that are in ground-states to their excited-states. [5] Visible region 400–700 nm spectrophotometry is used extensively in colorimetry science. It is a known fact that it operates best at the range ...

  7. Intrinsic DNA fluorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_DNA_fluorescence

    Intrinsic DNA fluorescence is the fluorescence emitted directly by DNA when it absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It contrasts to that stemming from fluorescent labels that are either simply bound to DNA or covalently attached to it, [1] [2] widely used in biological applications; such labels may be chemically modified, not naturally occurring, nucleobases.

  8. Nucleic acid structure determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_structure...

    Nucleic acid NMR is the use of NMR spectroscopy to obtain information about the structure and dynamics of nucleic acid molecules, such as DNA or RNA.As of 2003, nearly half of all known RNA structures had been determined by NMR spectroscopy.

  9. Isosbestic point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosbestic_point

    The spectra of basic, acid and intermediate pH solutions are shown. The analytical concentration of the dye is the same in all solutions. In spectroscopy, an isosbestic point is a specific wavelength, wavenumber or frequency at which the total absorbance of a sample does not change during a chemical reaction or a physical change of the sample ...
