Abstract
Circular dichroic spectra, turbidity measurements, and electron micrographs have been taken of annealled complexes of native, sonicated, and denatured DNA's in association with several sequential lysine-glycine copolypeptides. The results indicate that: (1) the molecular weight and strandedness of the DNA influences not only the assymmetric organization of the DNA in the complexes but also the size and shape of the complexes formed; (2) the hydrophobic nature (or sequence) of the polypeptide influences the shape of the complexes formed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
