## Abstract DNA selfβassembly has crucial implications in reading out the genetic information in the cell and in nanotechnological applications. In a recent paper, selfβassembled DNA crystals displaying spectacular triangular motifs have been described (Zheng __et al__., 2009). The authors claimed

We study the nonlinear dynamics of the inhomogeneous DNA double-helical chain using the dynamic plane-base rotator model by considering angular rotation of bases in a plane normal to the helical axis. The DNA dynamics in this case is found to be governed by a perturbed sine-Gordon equation, while ta
High angle diffraction data from ordered fibres of DNA in the A form have been collected on diffractometer D19 at the Institute Laue-Langevin. By exploiting the ability to isotopically replace H,O surrounding the DNA by D,O we have been able to locate water around the double helix.
The effect of salt on the intercalation of acridine dyes and DNA is rather well explained by the Gouy-Chapman double-layer theory as applied to a cylinder model of the DNA-dye complex. The free energy of transfer of a dye ion from the bulk solution to the complex is divided into several parts, one o
