The two strands of DNA, although chemically equivalent, are replicated and repaired asymmetrically. Insights into the persistence of DNA damage show how strand-specific interactions shape the ...
Just like twins recognising and approaching each other across a crowded room, it now turns out that identical stretches of double-stranded DNA seek each other out in solution. The unexpected finding ...
In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...
