Abstract/Summary:
Comprehending DNA organization in vivo requires an understanding of how DNA self organizes to form liquid crystalline phases in highly concentrated solutions. Semi-rigid polymers such as DNA begin to form liquid crystalline phases above a critical concentration (C;The observed decrease in critical concentration (C...
