Sequence-encoded intermolecular base pairing modulates fluidity in DNA and RNA condensates [PDF]
Nature uses bottom-up self-assembly to build structures with remarkable complexity and functionality. Understanding how molecular-scale interactions translate to macroscopic properties remains a major challenge and requires systems that effectively ...

Base-pairing of uracil and 2,6-diaminopurine: from cocrystals to photoreactivity [PDF]
Summary: We show that the non-canonical nucleobase 2,6-diaminopurine (D) spontaneously base pairs with uracil (U) in water and the solid state without the need to be attached to the ribose-phosphate backbone. Depending on the reaction conditions, D and U

Schiff base-mediated base pairing [PDF]
We here present a novel covalently linked base pair via Schiff base formation between 5-formyluracil (fU) and 5-aminocytosine (AmC). The formation of Schiff base remarkably increases thermal stability of the duplex DNA, whereas it completely dissociates upon heating at 90 degrees C. Neither AmC nor fU produces covalent linkage with other natural bases,

LinearPartition: linear-time approximation of RNA folding partition function and base-pairing probabilities [PDF]
Motivation RNA secondary structure prediction is widely used to understand RNA function. Recently, there has been a shift away from the classical minimum free energy methods to partition function-based methods that account for folding ensembles and can ...

Prevalence of small base-pairing RNAs derived from diverse genomic loci.
Small RNAs (sRNAs) that act by base-pairing have been shown to play important roles in fine-tuning the levels and translation of their target transcripts across a variety of model and pathogenic organisms.

Effect of Molecular Crowding on DNA Polymerase Reactions along Unnatural DNA Templates
Unnatural nucleic acids are promising materials to expand genetic information beyond the natural bases. During replication, substrate nucleotide incorporation should be strictly controlled for optimal base pairing with template strand bases. Base-pairing
