Interactions between DNA and synthetic cationic liposomes
Article Abstract:
Issues concerning the interaction between T2, T4, T5, T7 and gamma bacteriophages double stranded DNA and cationic liposomes consisting of one single synthetic cationic lipid, dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide, are discussed. The hydrophobic action between nitrogenous bases on DNA and hydrocarbon chains on liposome bilayers plays a key role in influencing the new physicochemical properties of the complex.

Compression of intermolecular interactions in CS2 crystal
Article Abstract:
Carbon disulfide, CS2 was crystallized in situ in a diamond-anvil cell at 295 K and 1.26 GPa to give an orthorhombic Cmca structure. The crystal structure was determined by direct methods from single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 295 K at two pressure points and the molecular rearrangements was rationalized by the close packing and equidistant intermolecular interactions offered by pressure.

Interactions between cationic vesicles and Candida albicans
Article Abstract:
Dioactadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB), a bilayer-forming synthetic amphiphile with antibacterial properties affects viability of Candida albicans. The interaction between DODAB and cells in 0.264 M D-glucose solution caused a well-defined cytotoxicity over the same DODAB concentration range that changed the cell surface charge from negative to positive.
