How can DNA condensate despite its negative charge? Implications in genome regulation, antibiotic resistance and gene therapy

  Research Group: Physics of Life
DNA molecules, being highly negatively charged, naturally repel each other. However, in the presence of multivalent ions or specific proteins, they can overcome this repulsion and condense into compact structures. Read more
