β¦ Synopsis
Magnetic resonance techniques have been used to establish or confirm that (i) various polyamines are present almost completely as polyammonium cations at pH 7, (ii) that these have the very high affinity for DNA expected between a polycation and polyanion, and (iii) that this is a loose electrostatic interaction which does not significantly hinder motion (rotational and translational ) of the cations close to DNA, and hence that migration of the polyammonium ions along the DNA must be extremely rapid.

## Abstract In the present work, the effects of sulphate ions on the iron precipitation from aqueous solution were investigated. It was shown that sulphate ions delayed the iron precipitation when this ion was added in form of Na~2~SO~4~. This effect became less significant in presence of magnesium
