Now, researchers at Harvard University have designed a new class of adenine base editors (ABEs) that can efficiently turn A-T into G-C, opening up the majority of pathogenic point mutations for ...

The thymine-adenine (T-A) base pair is held together by fewer hydrogen bonds compared to the guanine-cytosine (G-C) base pair, which has three hydrogen bonds. The complementary base pairing in DNA ...

The pyrimidines, thymine (DNA), uracil (RNA), and cytosine are shown on top while the purines, adenine and guanine, are shown at the bottom. (Image: adapted from Wikimedia Commons, public domain) The ...
