Circular dichroism spectra of DNA hairpins studied by the Green function method
Article Abstract:
The circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of a large biological molecule represented as an array of interacting chromophores is investigated by using the configuration-averaged Green function formalism. The expression for the CD spectrum obtained by perturbation theory expansion is applied to analyze the CD spectrum of DNA hairpins in the low-energy domain of Sa group absorption spectra.

Role of multivalent cations in the self-assembly of phospholipid-DNA complexes
Article Abstract:
The interactions between phospholipids and multivalent cations and their consequences on complexation with DNA are demonstrated. The studies would provide insight into phospholipid-DNA complexes and could be applied to develop biomolecular self-assembled systems.
