The aggregation and association of macromolecules, particularly of polynucleotides, is considered from the point of view of equilibria between monomeric and micellar structures. The polynucleotide is considered as a ``fibrillar micelle'' in dynamic equilibrium with the biological membrane represented as a ``laminar micelle'' and a mechanism of triggering the upset of this equilibrium in the light of charge transfer reactions is discussed in order to point up possible applications of the quantum approach.
