Nucleic acids

This section incorporates all aspects of nucleic acid biophysics including: analysis of chromatin, genome biophysics, DNA replication, repair, and transcription.

  1. With the passing of Jörg Langowski 6 May 2017 in a sailplane accident, the scientific community was deprived of a strident and effective voice for DNA and chromatin molecular and computational biophysics, for ...
