The micellization of dilauryldimethylammonium bromide (DLDMAB) in water was studied by using surface tension measurements. The critical micellar concentration (CMC) was determined at 25°C, 32°C and 40°C and thermodynamic parameters such as the free energy of micellization (∆G°mic), enthalpy (∆H°mic), and entropy (∆S°mic) of micellization were measured. The CMC at 25°C was 4.93 x 10-5 M and the corresponding values of the thermodynamic parameters were: ∆G°mic = -5.87 kcal/mol; ∆H°mic = -1.12 kcal/mol and ∆S°mic = +16.00 e.u. Micelles of the surfactant DLDMAB act as catalysts for the alkaline hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate (NPDPP) with a maximum catalytic factor of approximately 120 compared to 80 for CTAB. Typical activation parameters measured for 1.00 x 10-3 M surfactant and 0.005 M NaOH were: Ea = 9.7 kcal/mo/; ∆H°≠ = 9.1 kcal/mol; ∆G°≠ = 19.6 kcal/mol and ∆S°≠ = -33.9 e.u. The kinetic results were also analyzed in terms of the pseudo-phase ion-exchange models (PPIE) and showed that the model is applicable to describe the experimental results.

The detailed definition of the structure of DNA in chromosomes and in interphase chromatin is important for correlating the structure of the genetic material with various states of physiological activity. A general approach to developing specific reagents for a variety of such studies in solution and in tissues is to combine a chemically specific organic cation with the electron-opaque phosphotungstic acid (PTA) molecule. The reagent described in this paper was made from the interaction of acriflavine and phosphotungstic acid. The acriflavine-PTA complex (a) displays some unique absorption and fluorescence properties, (b) binds specifically to DNA and RNA by intercalation of the acriflavine moiety, and (c) is electron opaque. In addition, it binds to double-stranded synthetic polynucleotides, but not to a variety of proteins, nucleoproteins, or polysaccharides.
