Abstract: Highlights: [•] The DNA orientation in the thin films is preferentially parallel to the film plane. [•] The surfactant arrangement around DNA depends on the surfactant headgroup structure. [•] ALA–DNA and LAM–DNA can accommodate 2:1 hexagonal packing arrangement that is more distorted than 3:1 obtained for CTAB and MTAB surfactants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
