For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different chemical force than natural genetic material. While the common natural DNA ...

Artificial DNA letters beyond A, T, G, C break a fundamental pairing rule to produce nanostructures with new shapes, far greater durability, and an unexpected ability to self-sort.

A research team at the University of Cologne has developed an artificial DNA base pair that works according to a new chemical principle. In contrast to natural bases, the novel artificial base pairs ...

DNA is the genetic material used by every living organism. But, in a few edge cases, the four bases of DNA—adenine, thymidine, cytosine, and guanine—undergo chemical modifications. And in viruses, ...

What’s the story behind DNA melting temperature analysis? UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy can be used to assess the characteristics of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a naturally occurring polymer ...

In the search for the chemical origins of life, researchers have found a possible alternative path for the emergence of the characteristic DNA pattern: According to the experiments, the characteristic ...
