Molecular biology: DNA twists and flips
Richard R. Sinden1
Abstract
DNA can shape itself into many forms to achieve its purposes in life. The crystal structure of the junction between two of its forms provides insight into how DNA might accomplish some of these acrobatics.
Crick and Watson's famous structure of DNA has become an icon of our age, somewhat eclipsing DNA's other structural forms. Imagine unravelling the familiar helix (termed B-DNA) and then twisting it up the other way around.
