Abstract

The optical activity of DNA liquid-crystalline dispersions was studied in the context of the theory of electromagnetic-wave absorption by large molecular aggregates. The study also focused on the effect that the interaction between complexes of nucleic acid molecules and nanoparticles exerts on the optical properties of a dispersion.
