Complexation Induced by Weak Interaction between DNA and PEO-b-P4VP below the CMC of the Polymer
The complexation between circular DNA and individual chains of PEO-
b
-P4VP with a relatively long PEO block and a short P4VP block is highly controllable when the interaction between DNA and the polymer is weak enough. When one circular DNA chain is taken into consideration
and the polymer concentration is far below its critical micelle concentration (CMC)
polymer chains are absorbed by DNA chain due to the interaction between the negatively charged DNA chain and the slightly positively charged P4VP block chains. After the adsorption/complexation
the DNA chain is converted into a nanoring (type 1). In the nanoring
the DNA chain is sufficiently wrapped by the polymer and adopts a fully stretched conformation
so that the DNA compact ratio in the nanorings is close to 1. When the polymer concentration is close to but lower than the CMC
the free polymer chains in the solution are adsorbed not only by the DNA chain but also by the polymer chains that have already been adsorbed on the DNA chain. As a result
the circular DNA chain adsorbs more polymer chains
and thus the resultant nanoring (type 2) has a larger width. In the type 2 nanoring
the DNA chain is slightly compressed; the DNA compact ratio is only about 2-3. Therefore
complexation induced by the weak interaction between DNA and PEO-
b
-P4VP below the CMC can produce narrow-disperse and large nanorings with a perimeter of micrometers
which are difficult to prepare by existing methods.
