Stable Thanks to Dynamics - DNA Component Resists UV Radiation

February 23, 2009 by prandd

Complex computer simulations have, for the first time, allowed scientists to examine in detail the processes that help to ensure the stability of DNA when exposed to UV light. The findings, achieved primarily in relation to DNA component 9H-adenine, have been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).
