Abstract
DILUTE solutions of deoxyribonucleic acid have high viscosity, very large increment of dielectric constant and high osmotic pressure. It has been suggested that these properties result from the formation of large hydration shells with a higher degree of lattice order than that prevailing in pure water1. In order to investigate these phenomena further, we have studied proton magnetic resonances of some deoxyribonucleic acid solutions and gels.
