A method for optical measurement of a multi-stranded nucleic acid which comprises the step of bringing a compound into contact with a multi-stranded nucleic acid wherein said compound is capable of interacting with the multi-stranded nucleic acid, wherein the compound has the following properties: (a) the compound can exist in a substantially colorless and non-fluorescent state under at least one condition in an aqueous solution in the absence of the multi-stranded nucleic acid, and (b) when the multi-stranded nucleic acid is allowed to exist in the condition defined in the above (a), the compound changes to a substantially colored state based on an interaction with the multi-stranded nucleic acid and substantially expresses fluorescent property based on said interaction.
