Compensation Effect in the Electrical Conduction Process in Some Nucleic Acid Base Complexes with Acriflavine Dye

Abstract

The validity of the compensation rule is studied for nucleic acid bases, adenine, cytosine, and uracil complexes with acriflavine dye. The value of the semiconduction activation energy of a complex varies with dye concentration. It is shown that at low dye concentration, these semiconducting complexes follow the three parameter equation σ(T)=σ′0exp(E⁄2kT0)exp(−E⁄2kT), where σ′0 and T0 are constant for a particular base, other notations have their usual meaning. Consistent values for σ′0 and T0 have been obtained by using various methods of evaluation. These results suggest that compensation effect has a physical origin.
