| Abstract: | The temperature stability of nanoconstructions formed by double-stranded DNA molecules fixed in the structure of their liquid crystalline dispersions and cross-linked by nanobridges was determined. It was shown that the heating of nanoconstructions is accompanied by a decrease in the amplitude of the negative bands in the CD spectrum both at lambda approximately 310 and lambda approximately 505 nm. Temperature "melting curves" were derived and characterzed by T(M) values. The T(M) values at lambda approximately 310 and lambda approximately 505 nm coincided with each other but differed from the T(M) value characteristic of the DNA cholesteric liquid crystalline dispersion. |
