Water-Soluble Lysine-containing Polypeptides. II. The Interaction of Several Sequential Lysine–Glycine Polypeptides with DNA. A Circular Dichroism Study of DNA Conformation in Annealed Complexes

To serve as models of protein–nucleic acid complexes, annealed complexes of several sequential lysine–glycine polypeptides with DNA have been formed. Circular dichroic spectra of the DNA contained in the complexes indicates that several discrete conformations of DNA can exist when complexed.
