Final Activity Report Summary - BIOSOFT (Light scattering investigation of bio-functionalized amphiphiles)
In addition we studied the self-assembling of amphinucleosides with polar heads formed by nine DNA bases. We measured the phase diagram as a function of the ionic strength and temperature, showing evidences of a critical point far from room temperature (around 80C). Finally we have determined the corresponding correlation length and we have compared our results with different model surfactants.
