Interkalaatio
Interkalaatio is a term used in various scientific fields to describe the insertion of something between existing elements or structures. In genetics, interkalaatio refers to the insertion of a base pair or a segment of DNA into the existing DNA sequence. This can occur spontaneously during DNA replication or be induced by certain chemical agents called interkalating agents. Such insertions can lead to frameshift mutations, altering the reading frame of genes and often resulting in non-functional proteins.
In chemistry and materials science, interkalaatio describes the process where guest atoms, ions, or molecules are
