In aqueous solution, pure DNA forms multiple liquid crystalline and crystalline phases whose nature depends on the polymer concentration. The following phase sequence is observed when the DNA concentration increases : isotropic $\to$ cholesteric $\to$ columnar hexagonal $\to $ crystalline phases. The aim of this work is to obtain structural information about the highly concentrated phases formed by 500 Å long DNA molecules — in particular about the crystalline phases — by means of X-ray diffraction. We show that in the two-dimensional (2D) ordered hexagonal phase a longitudinal order progressively appears between neighbouring DNA helices leading continuously to a three-dimensional (3D) ordered hexagonal phase. For higher concentrations the...
