The DNA binding behavior of a tricationic cyanine dye (DiSC3+(5)) was studied using the [Poly(dA-dT)]2, [Poly(dI-dC)]2 and Poly(dA) x Poly(dT) duplex sequences and the Poly(dA) x 2Poly(dT) triplex. Optical spectroscopy and viscometry results indicate that the dye binds to the

New DNA minor-groove binding molecules with high binding affinities and sequence-selectivities are described. The effects of structural changes in ligands with a three-ring backbone on their DNA-binding properties have been studied. Of a pool of eight potential ligands, two showed
