On the structure and stability of dinucleotides in aqueous solution
Abstract: eoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) encode the genetic information for all living things and some viruses. Remarkably, DNA is only comprised of four unique nucleotides which differ only with respect to their nitrogenous bases (adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine(T)), yet all of the information needed for life to evolve is contained within this molecular structure. DNA is an organic polymer where the nucleotides are linked into a backbone by their phosphatedeoxyribose components with the bases protruding in such a way that the two strands can bind together, entwining to form a double helix. Although the solid state polymeric structure of DNA is well known, the structure of this life-giving molecule in aqueous solution in which it functions in vivo remains unclear.
