<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear all,</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps something not so closely related to our field, however, good for the common knowledge for any biologist:<br><br>"
The main stabilizer of the DNA double helix is not the base-pair 
hydrogen bonds but coin-pile stacking of base pairs, whose hydrophobic 
cohesion, requiring abundant water, indirectly makes the DNA interior 
dry so that hydrogen bonds can exert full recognition power."</div><div><br></div><div>
