Cationic surfactants associate strongly to DNA and compact but are often toxic. The interaction of some novel cationic amino acid-based surfactants, which may enhance transfection and appear to be nontoxic, is described. A cationic arginine-based surfactant, ALA, gives in combination with anionic surfactants spontaneously stable vesicles, and special attention is given to the association of these catanionic ves...
