ALTERNATIVE FORMS. “It is only relatively recently that there has been increased emphasis on alternative conformational models for DNA.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-94-009-7052-6.pdf View in LinkedIn
QUANTUM FROM PARTICLES TO STARS. “Quantum physics allows to make statements about the behavior of a wide variety of many-particle systems at the atomic level, from salt crystals to neutron stars.” https://lnkd.in/djnqdiw View in LinkedIn
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. “Helical flexibility as a mechanism to either generate structural recognition signals along the DNA molecule or regulate superhelical topology was not discussed extensively.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-94-009-7052-6.pdf View in LinkedIn
THE FINDING. “Bekenstein conjectured the existence of a universal upper bound...on the entropy content of physical systems with negligible self-gravity.” https://lnkd.in/d3sfhP6 View in LinkedIn
HYPOTHETICAL FUNCTION. “Left-handed double helical DNA regions might be anticipated to facilitate replication fork movement and chain separation during DNA replication.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-94-009-7052-6.pdf View in LinkedIn
One assumes that slate is a dull material, but the work Alberto Martinyez of Zaragoza Spain shows otherwise. He happens to be one of Spain’s leading stone caligraphers. View in LinkedIn
DARK MATTER. “Now, scientists have created the largest ever map of this mysterious substance – and it could imply that there’s something wrong with Einstein’s theory of relativity. They have also mapped the location of vast cosmic voids where the conventional laws of physics may not apply.” Read the last sentence again. https://lnkd.in/dPsJYV3 View in LinkedIn
LEVOROTATORY VARIANT. “Although there was discussion of the possibility of left-handed helices, especially shortly after the double helix formulation, there were very few systematic studies of left-handed helices published during the next decade or so.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-94-009-7052-6.pdf View in LinkedIn
THE VARIANTS. “The greater wealth of diffraction data seen in the A pattern made it possible to get more information. The relative ease with which it slipped into the B pattern reinforced the idea that these were two conformational variants; it was found that both patterns could be fitted by a right-handed double helix.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-94-009-7052-6.pdf View in LinkedIn
