The structure has two-fold symmetry, with pairwise stacking of the double-helical arms, which form two continuous B-DNA helices that run antiparallel, cross in a right-handed way, and contain two ...

Precipitation occurs when adjacent DNA helices are affected simultaneously, with the compaction agent not only reducing the helix-helix repulsion but also bridging the helixes. This phenomenon was ...

But what came before that remains unclear. Double-stranded DNA helices are great for storing genetic information. Many of those genes ultimately code for proteins—complex molecular machines that ...

Birefringence increased with film thickness, stabilizing at approximately 100 nm, suggesting improved alignment of DNA helices with thickness. The authors also introduced a method for fabricating ...
