AB  - Nickel nanoparticle (NiNP) clusters in the range of 60-70 nm size on interaction 
      with herring-sperm DNA (B-DNA) form a self-assembled duplex helix DNA structure 
      with fragmented NiNPs as small as 5-15 nm, as evident from atomic force 
      microscopic studies. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron 
      microscope (TEM) images also corroborate the findings. The properties of these 
      self-assembled NiNPs-DNA structures have been further investigated by UV-visible, 
      emission and circular dichroic (CD) spectral studies.
