title: The characteristic CD spectra of DNA from young rat liver.
abstract: The circular dichroism spectroscopy was used to study conformational changes of DNA upon aging. DNA from 8 weeks old rat liver showed A-form unexpectedly in physiological saline. The characteristic spectrum gradually changed upon aging and that of 30 months old rat liver DNA showed normal B-form.
