Scientific paper

We consider cholesteric liquid-crystalline DNA dispersions, and show that
polymeric (Dau-Cu) complexes, the so-called bridges, between pairs of DNA
molecules may generate a super liquid-crystalline structure (BR-phase). The
latter could have a layered spatial structure and an abnormal optical activity
that could have a bearing upon the intense CD-band observed in DNA-dispersions.
