In drug - DNA binding studies .........
(Ea-Ef)/(Eb-Ef) = {B - (B2 - K2 C [DNA]/s)1/2 } / 2KC
where Ea is the extinction coefficient observed for the absorption band at a given DNA concentration, Ef is the extinction coefficient of the complexes in its free form and Eb of the complex in the fully bound form.
K is the binding constant
C is the concentration of drug
s is binding site size
and
B = 1 + KC + K [DNA] / 2s
