Liquid Crystalline DNA

Liquid Crystalline DNA

DNA undergoes a series of liquid crystalline phase transitions when it is compressed in vivo into chromosome-sized packages. The photomicrograph above depicts high molecular weight calf thymus DNA at concentrations approaching 650 milligrams/milliliter. Hoffman modulated contrast and polarized light render this image both beautiful and informative.
