Abstract

Lariat ethers and hydraphiles have been studied by the use of gel electrophoresis to evaluate the complexation of a 10 kilobase plasmid DNA. Both receptor systems show behaviour that reflects differences in side or spacer chain lengths. In addition, the formation of complexes or aggregates (identified by transmission electron microscopy, TEM) is pH dependent. Some detergents and polyamines can affect the formation and/or deaggregation of the complexes which TEM shows form particles of a relatively uniform size (~100–150 nm) and density for a specific receptor.
