Chiral enantiomeric amino acid Schiff base copper (II) complexes 1 and 2 (a and b) were
synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques (Fourier transform …

The paper reviews our current studies on the experimentally induced cation compaction and
aggregation in solutions of DNA and nucleosome core particles and the theoretical …

We provide a brief overview of the structural characteristics of the main groups of conjugated
polyelectrolytes (CPEs) as well as the methods of synthesis and their behaviour in solution …

Surfactant research explores the forces responsible for surfactant assembly and the critical
industrial, medical, and personal applications, including viscosity control, microelectronics …

In bacteria, Dps is one of the critical proteins to build up a condensed nucleoid in response
to the environmental stresses. In this study, we found that the expression of Dps and the …

DNA hydrogels with a wide range of tunable properties are desirable for applications to
make use the characteristics of DNA. This study describes formation conditions of DNA …

The helix-to-coil denaturation transition in DNA has been investigated in mixed solvents at
high concentration using ultraviolet light absorption spectroscopy and small-angle neutron …

DNA hydrogels have a wide range of biomedical applications in tissue engineering and
drug-delivery systems.[1, 2] There are two ways to create hydrogel structures: one is …

Complexation between polyelectrolyte and polyampholyte chains in poor solvent conditions
for the polyelectrolyte backbone has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. In a …

In the presence of condensing agents, single chains of giant double-stranded DNA undergo
a first-order phase transition between an elongated coil state and a folded compact state. To …
