Scientists discover a ‘Goldilocks’ zone for DNA organization, opening new doors for drug development
In a discovery that could redefine how we understand cellular resilience and adaptability, scientists have unlocked the secret interactions between a primordial inorganic polymer of phosphate known as polyphosphate (polyP), and two basic building blocks of life: DNA and the element magnesium. These components formed clusters of tiny liquid droplets — also known as condensates — with flexible and adaptable structures. …read more
