and Summary The interaction of surface active compounds (including N‐lauroyl amino acids) with self thymus DNA in aqueous solutions has been studied by measurements of the melting temperature of the DNA. The results suggest that the surface active nature of these additives is not the primary factor governing the interaction with DNA, but their molecular structure is very important in the interaction.
