Abstract

Nucleic acids are highly charged, and electrical forces are involved heavily in how our DNA is compacted and packaged into such a small space, how chromosomes are formed, and how DNA damage is repaired. In addition, electrical forces are crucial to the formation of non-canonical DNA structures called G-Quadruplexes which play multiple biological roles.

核酸与电信号。

核酸是高度带电的，我们的DNA是如何被压缩和包装在这样一个小空间里的，染色体是如何形成的，以及DNA损伤是如何修复的，这些都与电力密切相关。此外，电作用力对于非规范DNA结构g -四联体的形成至关重要，这种结构起着多种生物学作用。
