A broad overview of the interaction of DNA with surfactants andpolymers
Due to the potential benefits of biotechnology, interest in theinteraction between DNA and surfactants and polymers has becomeincreasingly significant. Now, DNA Interactions with Polymersand Surfactants provides an extensive, up-to-date overview ofthe subject, giving readers a basis for understanding the factorsleading to complexation between DNA and different cosolutes,including metal ions, polyelectrolytes, spermine, spermidine,surfactants and lipids, and proteins.
Topical coverage includes:
* Polyelectrolytes, physico-chemical aspects and biologicalsignificance
* Solution behavior of nucleic acids
* Single DNA molecules: compaction and decompaction
* Interaction of DNA with surfactants and cationic polymers
* Interactions of histones with DNA
* DNA-DNA interactions
* The hydration of DNA-amphiphile complexes
* DNA-surfactant/lipid complexes at liquid interfaces
* DNA and DNA-surfactant complexes at solid surfaces
* The role of correlation forces for DNA-cosolute interactions
* Simulations of polyions
* Cross-linked DNA gels and gel particles
* DNA as an amphiphilic polymer
* Lipid-DNA interactions
Covering both theoretical and practical aspects of the subject,DNA Interactions with Polymers and Surfactants is an idealresource for chemists and biochemists working in gene and DNAdelivery research in industry and academia, as well as for cellbiologists, chemical engineers, molecular biologists, anddevelopment biologists in the pharmaceutical industry.
