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. But the four-letter ...

Metal-mediated base pairing in nucleic acids represents a transformative approach wherein traditional Watson–Crick hydrogen bonds are replaced or supplemented by coordinate bonds with metal ions. This ...
