Abstract: An in situ photochemical fluorescence probe method for the determination of DNAwith sodium 9,10-anthraquinone-2-sulfonate(AQS) as a photochemical fluorescence probe was developed for the first time.It was based on the conversion of AQSinto an intensively fluorescent product on irradiating with UVradiation.The photochemical reaction is decelerated by DNA.The determination can be carried out by measuring the fluorescence intensity at a fixed time.The calibration graph was linear in the range 0~80 ng/mL CT DNA(r=0.9991), the limit of detection was 3.2 ng/mL CT DNA(n=9).The kinetic behaviour of the photochemical reaction and the effects of some experiment conditions were investigated and discussed in detail.The results of absorption spectra experiments and competitive binding experiments suggest that the interaction between AQSand DNAmay be intercalative.
