Abstract：
We report on the synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) study of self-assembled complex formed by mixing short-chain DNAs with cationic phospholipids in water. The DNA/lipid complex is a sandwiched structure, consisting of alternate layers of DNAs and lipid bilayers with a periodicity of d_D/L. The DNAs at the interfaces are one-dimensionally ordered with a periodicity of d_DNA. When the temperature of the system is increased, the lipid bilayers become soft so that the DNAs are trapped more deeply inside the lipid bilayers. This explains why the measured d_D/L decreases insignificantly with the increase of temperature.On the other hand, the value of d_DNA keeps constant because of the stiffness of the DNAs.
