Evolutionary advantage of anti-parallel strand orientation of duplex DNA
Abstract DNA in all living systems shares common properties that are remarkably well suited to its function, suggesting refinement by evolution. However, DNA also shares some counter-intuitive properties which confer no obvious benefit, such as strand directionality and anti-parallel strand orientat...
