Popis: Molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid and synthetic polydeoxyribonucleotides (NA) in the particles of liquid-crystalline dispersions resulting from interaction with chitosan are accessible to interaction with intercalators. The intercalation is accompanied by alteration in the direction of spatial twist of cholesterics of NA-chitosan complexes. This effect is absent in the case of "classical" cholesterics produced from NA molecules via phase exclusion, i.e., the cholesteric structure of NA-chitosan complex is very "labile" as distinct from "classical" cholesteric NA.
