The binding of ethidium bromide to chicken erythrocyte core particles results in a step-wise dissociation of the structure that involves the initial release of one copy each of histones H2A and H2B. Quantitation of the dissociated DNA reveals that a critical amount of drug is required for the dissociation. Above the critical value, the dissociation is time dependent, reversible, and independent of DNA concentration.
溴化乙锭与鸡红细胞核心颗粒的结合导致结构逐步解离,这涉及到组蛋白H2A和H2B各一个拷贝的初始释放。对解离的DNA进行定量分析表明,解离需要一定量的药物。超过临界值后,解离是时间依赖性的、可逆的,且与DNA浓度无关。
