These can be placed at intervals in-between the natural letters, but the structure of DNA breaks down if they are placed in a row. Finally, the team showed that the synthetic DNA could be ...

the researchers have shown that two synthetic nucleotides called P and Z fit seamlessly into DNA’s helical structure, maintaining the natural shape of DNA. Moreover, DNA sequences incorporating ...

Scientists have recently molded a new kind of DNA into its elegant double-helix structure and found it had properties that could support life. But if natural DNA is a short story, this synthetic ...

The structure of a cell’s nucleus has long served as a visible clue to whether a cell is healthy or affected by disease.

they found that the synthetic base pairs from AEGIS form a geometric structure that resembles the Watson and Crick geometry of natural base pairs. The result: the enzymes that transcribe DNA can't ...

Such base pairs comprise natural or artificial nucleobases ... neither of the helices adopts the canonical B-type structure either. The DNA duplex containing two pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate ...

DNA’s complexity and flexibility have made it hard, however, to analyze the detailed structure of its excited ... none of the A-T pairs that occur in natural DNA. In Jerusalem, Porath’s ...

The new nucleotides even outperform their natural counterparts ... Proteins have a much more flexible structure than DNA and RNA and are capable of folding into an array of complex shapes. A properly ...

DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...

“DNA can be considered as a natural flame retardant and suppressant,” says study researcher Giulio Malucelli at Italy’s Politecnico di Torino, Alessandria branch. Its chemical structure ...

These can be placed at intervals in-between the natural letters, but the structure of DNA breaks down if they are placed in a row. Finally, the team showed that the synthetic DNA could be ...
