The inhomogeneity is induced by mixing two solutions containing, respectively, protamine and DNA, with different relative concentrations, but aiming at producing the same final concentrations. The study was conducted by means of fluorescence microscopy (FM), complemented with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is shown that the degree of precipitation, the structures formed, and the relative population of compacted and unfolded structures are highly dependent on the method of preparation of the mixtures that contain the DNA/protamine complexes. Most of the structures reported in the literature, that is, overcharged/undercharged globules, toroids, chains internally segregated, and bundles composed of several chains were observed in our different mixtures of fixed final concentration. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/10551 | ISSN: | 1525-7797 | DOI: | 10.1021/bm900211j | Direitos: | openAccess |
