DNA liquid crystalline gel (LCG) has been newly prepared by a dialysis of concentrated DNA solutions intoconcentrated metal cation solutions. The condition for forming DNA LCG is examined by means of the insolubilizationreaction. The shrinking ratio and the ratio of the thickness of LCG layer,
, and the diameter of the dialysis tube,
d0, do not depend on
d0. The adsorption of one of carcinogenic agents, acridine orange is demonstrated. From theexperimental results, the mechanism for forming DNALCG is discussed.
