In DNA, distortions from the organized double-helical structure, such as base flipping or altered base pairing, increase the hydropathy values. With its greater structural complexity, RNA exhibits a ...

Most A/T specific heterocyclic diamidine derivatives need at least four A/T base pairs for tight binding to the DNA minor groove. Addition of a GC base pair to A/T sequences typically causes a large ...

Unmanaged heel pain can be incredibly difficult to live with, but the best shoes for plantar fasciitis help alleviate symptoms and prevent future flares. Here are our top picks for everything from ...

This paper improves the Smith-Waterman algorithm. On the one hand, it present the two-character alignment, improve the scoring function and scoring matrix to enhance the specificity and reduce the ...
