But, it's water that holding the DNA helixes together. In fact, the entire helical structure of the DNA might be because of its hydrophobic interior in an environment that consists mainly of water.

DX molecules contain two DNA double helices with parallel axes linked by Holliday-like crossovers. Atoms move between 20 Å and 60 Å when the device undergoes the transition. A central goal of ...

Afterward, only half of the new DNA double helices would be hybrids; the other half would be completely new. Every subsequent round of replication therefore would result in fewer hybrids and more ...
