Abstract: This paper describes a new fluorescence probe technique for the determination ofDNA, which is based on a self-quenching course of high concentration of o-hydroxybenzoicacid or o-aminobenzoic acid. Studies involving calf thymus (CT) DNA, salmon (SM) DNAand herring sperm(HS) DNArevealed that the differential value of fluorescence intensity inthe presence and absence of nucleic acid was proportional to the concentration of nucleic overthe range of about 15 ng/mL 6.0μg/mL.

Key words: Self-quenching, Fluorescence probe, DNA
