TABLE I.

Effect of CoHex3+ counterions on DNA flexibility. Shown are relative changes in bending persistence length (Lp) and length of helical repeat (10 bp) segment (l), relative to the same system with no CoHex3+ ions (multivalent ions replaced by Na+ to maintain over-all neutrality).

DNA w/CoHex3+ ΔLP/LP (%) Δl/l (%)
0.17 CoHex3+/P −31 −1.8
0.33 CoHex3+/P −37 −1.8
