The discovery of the spatial structure of the double-stranded DNA
molecule is one of the greatest achievements of science. It would
not be an exaggeration to say that the DNA double helix is a
distinguished symbol of modern biology.

Part 3 explains how the discovery of the
fundamental principles underlying the formation of nucleic acid
liquid-crystalline dispersion particles opens a gate for the
operational use of these principles in the area of
nanotechnology and biosensorics

With detailed coverage of DNA liquid crystals, this book provides
an understanding of the information presently available on the
condensation of various forms of DNA. Double-stranded nucleic
acids, spatially organized in a liquid-crystalline structure,
represent an important polyfunctional tool for molecular biology
and nanobiotechnology. The possibility of programmed and
controlled variations in the properties of these molecules and in
the characteristics of their liquid-crystalline dispersions,
provides wide options for the formation of biologically active
three-dimensional structures with unique, widely applicable
properties.
