OBC Issue 21 Outside Cover

Tanabe, Nishimoto and co-workers at Kyoto University, propose a mechanism for the intramolecular cyclization of modified oligodeoxynucleotides bearing a pair of disulfides.

This colourful cover represents how X-Ray irradiation of an aqueous solution of modified oligodeoxynucleotides with a pair of disulfides at both ends causes efficient cyclization via an
intramolecular exchange reaction.

The article is free to access until the end of November.
