ABSTRACT
A simple user-friendly computer programme has been developed to operate on an IBM-PC compatible machine to aid in the process of curve fitting using the McGhee and von Hippel equation [J. Mol Biol, 86 (1974), 469-489] for the analysis of ligand-DNA interactions and the experimental data on berberine-calf thymus DNA and berberine-poly(dI-dC). poly(dI-dC) for non-cooperative binding. A sensitivity analysis on binding constant (K0) and the number of binding sites (N0) show that a small variation in the latter remarkably alters the fitting curve. At a level of 1% change in N0 from the best fit value, the standard deviation grows by almost 4%, while, on the other hand, a 1% change in K0 affects the same value only by less than 0.4%.
