Abstract

Binding of intercalators to dsDNA switches the aggregation phenomena of DNA–PNIPAM because the binding decreases the dsDNA conformational entropy and/or the shielding of dsDNA charges. Thus, dsDNA–PNIPAM was dramatically aggregated in response to molecular recognition of the DNA–intercalator.
