Outline of Final Research Achievements

By using microwave technique, we have been succeeded in detect a change in conformation of aqueous solution containing DNA. The main chain scission of plasmid DNA could be recognized by analysing characteristic absorption of microwave. Moreover, accuracy was improved by controlling temperature, humidity etc.
