Abstract
We have made rapid progress in recent years in identifying the genetic causes of many human diseases. However, despite this recent progress, our mechanistic understanding of these diseases is often incomplete. This is a problem because it limits our ...Read More

Circular dichroism and 31P-NMR on synthetic oligomers of (dC-dG) inserted within DNA restriction fragments indicate that the right-handed B-st structure can exist in close proximity to the left-handed Z-structure, and this salt-induced transition to Z-form in a small segment of a recombinant plasmids markedly influenced the supercoil of the plasmid.
