Researchers at Kiel University report sequence-dependent effects of light on DNA
13-Oct-2008 -
DNA, the molecule that acts as the carrier of genetic information in all forms of life, is highly resistant against alteration by ultraviolet light, but understanding the mechanism for its photostability presents some puzzling problems. A key aspect is the interaction between the four chemical ...
