title: Spontaneous formation of helical strands from nucleic acid-lipid conjugates.
abstract: We have developed a new class of helical strands that self-assembled spontaneously in aqueous solution. Phospholipid-deoxynucleoside conjugates containing two myristoyl groups and a deoxynucleosidyl group spontaneously assembled to form different types of helical strands.
