Description Vibrio cholerae DN A bearing furazolidone-induced interstrand cross-links show a change in the characteristic
circular dichroism spectra of the DN A itself in dilute buffer. The change in c.d. spectra was characterized by a
shift of the positive band around 272 nm to lower wavelength and a loss of ellipticity of the negative band around 242 nm, and is similar to that exhibited by mitomycin linked Vibrio cholerae DN A under identical conditions and is suggestive of a conformational change of DNA bearing such cross-links. Both furazolidone-induced and
mitomycin-induced cross-linking of Vibrio cholerae DN A inhibited the salt-induced conformation change, i.e.
increase in winding angle of DNA, the percentage inhibition being greater for mitomycin-linked DNA.
