Optoelectronic applications of marine DNA

Various DNA-cationic lipid complexes and their bulk films were prepared and their physical properties were measured. Consequently, it was found that physical properties were greatly dependent on each lipids. The DNA-lipid complexes film formed by C-12 lipid of single-chain trimethylammonium type showed largest value on mechanical strength. Water absorption behaviors of the films were also dependent on kinds of lipids. It was found that fluorescence quantum yields of cyanine doped DNA-lipid films decreased nonlinearly with increasing relative humidity, while the fluorescence quantum yields were high compared with that of PMMA in whole range of relative humidity.
