We consider a possible interpretation of the new charm-strange meson D* s0 (2317) as a hadronic molecule-a bound state of D and K mesons. Using an effective Lagrangian approach, we calculate the strong D* s0 → D s π 0 and radiative D* s0 → D* s γ decays. A new impact related to the DK molecular structure of the D* s0 (2317) meson is that the presence of u(d) quarks in the D and K mesons gives rise to a direct strong isospin-violating transition D* s0 → D s π 0 in addition to the decay mechanism induced by η - π 0 mixing considered previously. We show that the direct transition dominates over the 17 - π 0 mixing transition in the D* s0 → D s π 0 decay. Our results for the partial decay widths are consistent with previous calculations.
