- For α> 1, the first bound ligand molecule will cover α adjacent base pairs. On saturation-minus- one-bound molecules, however, the α uncovered base pairs will randomly be distributed over the DNA molecule. Thus the symmetry is lost

- Experimentally, this minimum would be rather difficult to be observed since it appears at high r values. We also scarely know anti-cooperative systems
- Remember the proportionality of l/â with the second power of γ

- Evidently, with α= 10 the singular behaviour has its absolute extremum at saturation, αr= 1

- As a helix-geometric property, for DNA interaction with bisintercalators the resulting bending angle γ is smaller than the sum of the two single bending angles, γ1, +γ3. Hence, the variation of δΨ implicates a variation of γ
