Abstract excerpt
An unnatural base-pair architecture with base pairs 2.4 Å larger than the natural DNA-based genetic system (xDNA) is evaluated for its ability to function like DNA, encoding amino acids in the context of living cells. xDNA bases are structurally analogous to natural bases but homologated by the width of a benzene ring, increasing their sizes and resulting in a duplex that is wider than native B-DNA. Plasmids...
