(a) The presence of a cationic lipid monolayer at the air-water interface aligns the first few water layers, generating strong vibrational SFG signal. (b) The binding of DNA and cationic lipids screens the electric charges, disorders the water molecules, leads to a sharp decrease of the water signal. Reprinted with permission from ref. 162.
