Gb. Sukhorukov et al., ASSEMBLY OF POLYELECTROLYTE MULTILAYER FILMS BY CONSECUTIVELY ALTERNATING ADSORPTION OF POLYNUCLEOTIDES AND POLYCATIONS, Thin solid films, 285, 1996, pp. 220-223
Multilayers films of nucleic acids (DNA, polyuridylic and polyadenylic
acids) and polycations (polyallylamine, polyethylenimine, polylysine
and polyarginine) were fabricated by consecutive adsorption of anionic
and cationic polyelectrolytes. The nlm growth process was controlled
by X-ray reflectivity and UV spectroscopy. The penetration of DNA-spec
ific dye was examined for DNA-polyallylamine self-assembled films.
