Abstract:
In the present study, a DNA-biosensor was prepared using immobilization technique to investigate the interaction between an antidepressant, buzepide methiodide (BZP) and calf thymus DNA. BZP showed a quasireversible peak in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer of pH 5 at bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE). At DNA modified GCE, the peak potential of BZP was observed to be shifted towards positive potential revealing intercalative mode of binding. The binding constant and stoichiometry between DNA and BZP are calculated to be 1.908×10(5)M(-1) and 0.982, respectively. The spectroscopic techniques viz., spectrofluorescence and UV-vis absorption have also been employed to understand the interaction between BZP and DNA. The results serve as a reference for the interaction of BZP with DNA base pairs in the natural environment of living cells.
