## Abstract A strong, positive, extrinsic CD band ([θ]~242.5~ = ∼2 × 10^−3^ deg cm^2^/dmole) has been observed for a α‐bromo‐poly[methylene‐1,4‐phenylenecarbonyloxyethylene(dimethylamino) bromide] (I). The extrinsic Cotton effect is attributed to the ordered arrangement of the aromatic chromophores

✦ Synopsis
On p. 1713 in the first line of the Synopsis the value for [8]242.5 should be -2.2 X deg deg cm2/dmole. Also, on p. 1716, fourth paragraph, line cm2/dmole instead of -2 X 3, the DNA is a solution of A = -0.5 units, not 0.05 units.

Thermal denaturation of direct-mixed and reconstituted polylysine-DNA complexes in 2.5 X 10-4 M EDTA, pH 8.0 and various concentrations of NaCl has been studied. For both complexes, increasing ionic strength of the solution raises T,, the melting temperature of free base pairs. The linear dependence
Polyamines are ubiquitous cellular components that interact strongly with nucleic acids. Although many of the interactions of oligocations with DNA can be rationalized with polyelectrolyte theories that treat counterions as point charges, some structural effects are evident. We have explored the eff
