Scripps research team creates simple chemical system that mimics DNA
Findings offer possible clues about primordial world, and could eventually lead to exotic new materials
15-Jun-2009 -
A team of Scripps Research scientists has created a new analog to DNA that assembles and disassembles itself without the need for enzymes. Because the new system comprises components that might reasonably be expected in a primordial world, the new chemical system could answer questions about how ...
