title: [Hydration and stability of the B-form of LiDNA].
abstract: Hydration and structure of Li DNA in films and solutions have been investigated by methods of IR spectroscopy, piezogravimentry, UHF dielectrometry, and microcalorimetry. The hydration energy and the water sorption range in which the DNA undergoes the transition from the unordered state to the B-form have been determined, making it possible to evaluate the contribution of water molecules of the DNA hydration shell to the total stabilization energy of the DNA helical structure.
