Abstract
The conformation of DNA molecules electrostatically bound to fluid cationic lipid bilayers is investigated by fluorescence microscopy. The DNA diffuses freely in the plane and follows Rouse dynamics, D∼ 1/N, with an increasing number of base pairs N. The chain extension scales as< R 2>∼ N 2 ν, with ν= 0.79±0.04 in good agreement with the exact exponent ν= 3/4 for a self-avoiding random walk in two dimensions. The structure factor of dilute and semidilute DNA solutions shows fractal scaling behavior, S (k)∼ k− 1/ν. In highly concentrated two-dimensional DNA solutions, the chains were found to segregate.
