✦ Synopsis

The sensitivity of DNA base‐pair stacking to water content, as shown here, may be responsible for widely different transport results reported in the literature. Oriented films of a DNA–surfactant complex in which aligned double helices are separated by 4.1 nm, with face‐to‐face base‐pair stacking, bases separated by 0.34 nm, and good π–π overlap, are examined. Dehydration drives the base pairs from parallel planar packing to edge packing with poor π–π overlap (see Figure).

A theoretical study of stacking patterns of various hydrogen-bonded base pair complexes has been undertaken. Modified Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory for intermediate range interactions, has been employed to evaluate the stacking interactions using multicentered-multipole expansion method.

Buoyant density of DNA in CsCl gradients with Hoechst 33258 (bisbenzimide) was investigated as a function of guanine plus cytosine content of the DNA (%GC; in mole percent). A formula for calculating %GC from the refractive index (nD) of the isopycnic CsCl/Hoechst 33258 solution over the range of 0-
