Conformation and Rheological Properties of Calf-Thymus DNA in Solution

  • Lourdes Mónica Bravo-Anaya,
  • Marguerite Rinaudo and
  • Félix Armando Soltero Martínez

11 February 2016

Studies of DNA molecule behavior in aqueous solutions performed through different approaches allow assessment of the solute-solvent interactions and examination of the strong influence of conformation on its physicochemical properties, in the presenc...
