[Some X-ray diffraction parameters of liquid-crystalline dispersions of nucleic acid-chitosan complexes ].
Liquid-crystalline dispersions of nucleic acid-chitosan complexes (NA-chitosan) possess optical and X-ray diffraction properties different from those of "classical" cholesterics. It is possible that positive charge distribution (distance between charges, chitosan conformation, etc.) in the polymeric chain of chitosan molecule combining with NA molecule is the factor that affects the spatial structure of resulting dispersions.
