Abstract

The effect of cationic surfactant on the compaction of DNA both in bulk solution and on polystyrene particles has been studied by dynamic light scattering. DNA undergoes a transition from a semiflexible coil to a more compact globule in aqueous solution as a consequence of cationic surfactant binding. Thus the hydrodynamic radius of DNA decreases from 107 nm to about 50 nm in the presence of cationic surfactant. Such compaction is also observed on DNA coated polystyrene particles. In this case, the hydrodynamic layer thickness of DNA coated particles is reduced from 36 to 5 nm in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
