Abstract :
The internal structure of DNA-CTAB and DNA-DDAB is investigated by a Small Angel X- ray Scattering(SAXS) instrument. Hexagonal packing of DNA was observed for DNA complex with CTAB, and for DDABcomplex is observed lamellar structure. Variations in the internal spacing and degree of long-range ordering aredependent on both surfactant type and concentrations of added salt. When we increased the amount of salt intoour complex we observed that the d spacing (d= 211/q) are increased.
