RESUMO
The resonance Raman spectrum of native DNA has been obtained using excitation at 257 nm. In a first part, the spectral lines are assigned to the different nucleotide bases which provide the resonance effect. In a second part, the interactions of DNA with basic peptides (Arginine Methylester, Lysine Methylester, Arginyl-Arginine) are investigated using excitation at 300 nm and 257 nm, which give complementary information about the DNA. Both Arginine Methylester and Arginyl-arginine recognize the A-T base pairs, the first one in the large groove, the second one in the narrow groove of DNA. The DNA-Lysine Methylester interaction is very likely not specific but can take place in the large groove of DNA.
