A Molecular Model of Braid-like DNA Structure

A Molecular Model of Braid-like DNA Structure

The three-dimensional molecular models of DNA triple helices and triple-stranded brain-like structure were built up by molecular architecture, and their structural features and energy decomposition were examined. The results showed: (i) The base triplet is the element forming braid-like and triple h...

Zusammenfassung:The three-dimensional molecular models of DNA triple helices and triple-stranded brain-like structure were built up by molecular architecture, and their structural features and energy decomposition were examined. The results showed: (i) The base triplet is the element forming braid-like and triple helix DNA; (ii) Under specified conditions, DNA could form the triplet-stranded braid like structure; (iii) DNA stability of the braid-like structure is less than that of the triple-helix structure.
