chaotropic: what's it mean?

[Rich Dudley]

Chaotropy and lyotropy are very well discussed in the literature; you may
have to go back a few decased to find it, but I know there are excellent
reviews available (sorry--I don't have the reference), that have tables of
relative chaotropism, etc.  Try Medline or Pubmed.
