7.1 The Versatile World of Nucleic Acids
7.1.1 Introduction
Deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) is a marvelous molecule to behold in its biological world. Transcription, translation, and replication are self-perpetuated processes for genetic expression, which all depend upon the intricate structure, organization, and special affinities of the nucleobases in the long DNA double helix [1]. Beyond biological intent, these same self-assembling mechanisms have inspired seeds of research ...
