A piece of research work conducted by the Spectroscopy Group of the UPV/EHU’s Department of Physical Chemistry, and the Biofisika Institute provides the cover of the latest issue of the ACS Central Science journal, which is one of the three leading journals in chemistry. This research group has managed to determine the structure of the sugars that form part of DNA, 2-deoxyriboside, with atomic-level resolution. What has been achieved here is “unprecedented resolution; we have managed to spatially position each of the atoms of this sugar,” as described by the group’s leader Emilio J. Cocinero.
