DNA Liquid-Crystalline Dispersions and Nanoconstructions (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

With detailed coverage of DNA liquid crystals, this book explores the information available on the condensation of various forms of DNA. The text presents the practical applications of the peculiar properties of the liquid-crystalline state of nucleic acids. It also shows how double-stranded nucleic acids represent an important tool for nanotechnology. The authors address modeling the state of the DNA molecules under laboratory conditions, which clarifies of the role of these molecules in living cells and for directed, artificial regulation of biological activity of the DNA by various chemical and biologically active compounds of medical importance.
