Synopsis

Several intercalating dyes are shown to inhibit the cation-induced condensation of A-DNA when Co3+(NH3)6 is the condensing agent. The dyes that have been studied are ethidium, propidium, proflavin, quinacrine, and actinomycin D. Earlier work has shown that intercalating dyes inhibit $-DNA condensation. [

The effect of salt on the intercalation of acridine dyes and DNA is rather well explained by the Gouy-Chapman double-layer theory as applied to a cylinder model of the DNA-dye complex. The free energy of transfer of a dye ion from the bulk solution to the complex is divided into several parts, one o

## Abstract Controlling the size of condensed DNA particles is a key determinant for their diffusion __in vivo__ as well as for gene delivery to target cells. Towards this goal, DNA molecules were compacted individually by cationic thiol‐detergents into discrete nanometric entities. These particles
