nonBDNA
nonBDNA is a term used to describe DNA that does not form the canonical B-form double helix. While the B-DNA structure is the most common and stable conformation of DNA under physiological conditions, DNA can adopt various other structural forms depending on factors like sequence, hydration, salt concentration, and the presence of proteins. These alternative structures include A-DNA, Z-DNA, and G-quadruplexes, among others.
A-DNA is a wider, shorter helix than B-DNA, often found under dehydrating conditions. Z-DNA is a left-handed
The existence and biological significance of these non-canonical DNA structures are areas of active research. They
