DNA Compaction and Charge Neutralization Regulated by Divalent Ions in very Low pH Solution

DNA conformation is strongly dependent on the valence of counterions in solution, and a valence of at least three is needed for DNA compaction. Recently, we directly demonstrated DNA compaction and its regulation, mediated by divalent cations, by lowering the pH of a solution. In the present study,...
