Abstract
A water-insoluble, self-standing cast film of a DNA-lipid complex is p repared by mixing aqueous solutions of both anionic DNAs and cationic amphiphiles at a charge ratio of 1:1. Intercalation behaviours of dye molecules into a cast film of a DNA-lipid complex deposited on a quart z-crystal microbalance (QCM) are followed quantitatively by observing frequency changes of the QCM in an aqueous solution.
