Does Z-DNA Play a Regulatory Role? | Genetics

Get the answer of: Does Z-DNA Play a Regulatory Role? One of the more interesting discoveries of the last decade was that segments of DNA that have sequences in which purines and pyrimidines alternate along each strand can form left-handed double helices. The Watson-Crick B-form of DNA is a right-handed double helix. The novel left-handed double-helical form of DNA has [...]

DNA in Virus (With Diagram)

A virus is a pathogenic agent, a infections particle, consisting of a core of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein shell. Viruses are, in general, much smaller than bacteria and have a much smaller genome. But their genetic material is of many varieties, unknown in cellular organisms. Some of these are discussed here. Bacteriophage φX174 which attacks [...]
