This brief account traces the development of a “competition dialysis” method used to characterize the structural and sequence selectivity of DNA binding compounds. The method was inspired by a simple “differential dialysis” method pioneered by Don Crothers to explore base‐selective intercalator binding. Results from compiled competition dialysis studies provide a small‐molecule DNA binding landscape that shows a rich diversity of interactions and molecular recognition. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
