The size and structure of aggregates formed by interaction of DNA with homologous series of cationic gemini surfactants butane-1,4-diyl-bis(alkyldimethylammonium bromide) (CnGS, n=10-16 is the number of alkyl carbons) were investigated using UV-vis turbidity, dynamic light scattering and small-angle synchrotron X-ray (SAX) diffraction. The detailed analysis of turbidity in the range of lambda=450-600 nm indicates an anomaly in the growth of CnGS+DNA aggregates with increasing concentration of CnGS, possibly involving changes of structure and size of aggregates. Using dynamic light scattering, changes of the effective diameter of CnGS+DNA (n=12 and 16) aggregates formed in the CnGS concentration range 0.002-0.140 mmol/l were observed. SAX diffractograms show the presence of long-range organization of CnGS+DNA (n=12, 13, 14 and 16) aggregates due to DNA interaction with CnGS above the critical micellar concentration. The CnGS+DNA (n=12, 13 and 14) aggregates at 25 degrees C are packed in a lattice of two-dimensional hexagonal symmetry. With increasing C14GS:DNA molar ratio the changes of the lattice parameter in the range of 4.80-5.27 nm are observed at 25 degrees C. The aggregates undergo structural changes induced by temperature in the range 60-95 degrees C, which are accompanied by changes of the diffraction patterns, namely in the region of reciprocal spacing s=0.15-0.30 nm(-1).
使用紫外可见分光光度法、动态光散射和小角同步加速器X射线(SAX)衍射,研究了DNA与同系阳离子双子表面活性剂丁烷-1,4-二基-双(烷基二甲基溴化铵)(CnGS,n = 10 - 16为烷基碳数)相互作用形成的聚集体的大小和结构。对450 - 600 nm波长范围内的浊度进行详细分析表明,随着CnGS浓度的增加,CnGS + DNA聚集体的生长出现异常,这可能涉及聚集体结构和大小的变化。使用动态光散射,观察到在0.002 - 0.140 mmol/L的CnGS浓度范围内形成的CnGS + DNA(n = 12和16)聚集体的有效直径的变化。SAX衍射图表明,在临界胶束浓度以上,由于DNA与CnGS相互作用,CnGS + DNA(n = 12、13、14和16)聚集体存在长程有序结构。25℃时,CnGS + DNA(n = 12、13和14)聚集体以二维六方对称晶格堆积。在25℃下,随着C14GS:DNA摩尔比的增加,观察到晶格参数在4.80 - 5.27 nm范围内变化。聚集体在60 - 95℃范围内经历温度诱导的结构变化,这伴随着衍射图谱的变化,即在倒易间距s = 0.15 - 0.30 nm⁻¹区域。
