  2. 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 ...

  3. 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]

  4. Intrinsic DNA fluorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_DNA_fluorescence

    Steady-state fluorescence spectra of the DNA nucleosides normalized to their maximum intensity. The fluorescence spectra of the DNA monomeric chromophores (nucleobases, nucleosides or nucleotides) in neutral aqueous solution, obtained with excitation around 260 nm, peak in the near ultraviolet (300-400 nm); and a long tail, extending all over the visible domain is present in their emission ...

  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. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Fluorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence

    Automated sequencing of DNA by the chain termination method; each of four different chain terminating bases has its own specific fluorescent tag. As the labelled DNA molecules are separated, the fluorescent label is excited by a UV source, and the identity of the base terminating the molecule is identified by the wavelength of the emitted light.

  9. Spectrochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrochemistry

    Spectrochemistry is the application of spectroscopy in several fields of chemistry. It includes analysis of spectra in chemical terms, and use of spectra to derive the structure of chemical compounds, and also to qualitatively and quantitively analyze their presence in the sample.
