Abstract

The formation and properties of dispersions of double stranded natural and synthetic nucleic acids are described. Evidence is given for the liquid-crystalline state of the nucleic acid within the dispersed droplets in these phases. The exploitation of nucleic acid dispersions in biosensors is discussed.
