Adenine was first discovered in 1885 by the German physiologist Albrecht Kossel. He isolated adenine from the pancreas of oxen and named it "adenine" derived from the Greek word "aden," meaning gland.

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different chemical force than natural genetic material. While the common natural DNA ...

Metal-mediated base pairing is an emerging paradigm in which metal ions replace or complement natural hydrogen bonds between nucleobases in DNA and RNA duplexes. By coordinating transition metals such ...

Artificial DNA letters beyond A, T, G, C break a fundamental pairing rule to produce nanostructures with new shapes, far greater durability, and an unexpected ability to self-sort. But the four-letter ...
