Abstract Details

2010, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Physics.
Raman spectroscopy experiments on CaDNA free-standing, highly-ordered wet-spun films containing various concentrations of CaCl2 show that CaDNA does not adopt the A conformation and reveals a maximum of DNA in the B conformation at 80% relative humidity. Swelling experiments on these same films give information as to the intermolecular spacing between molecules. Finally, a proof of principle measurement of the activation enthalpy of guanosine is also given.
