Koni Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 On the Earth (and in the Internet) you can find a Triple Helix DNA... It consists from a normal (2)Double Helix DNA where is added a partial third (1)simple Helix: 2+1=3. By my Idea: On the core of the Double Helix DNA 2 Bases X-Y make 2-3 Hydrogens Bonds with each other... On the core of the Triple Helix DNA 3 Bases X-Y-Z make 3 Hydrogens Bonds with each other!!!... On the Triple Helix the Bases are Double-Bases because each Base has 3 Hydrogens Bonds with each of the other two Bases!!! By AB, CD and EF are the 3 Hydrogen Bonds which connects the three(3) Double-Bases... The Bases X(BC), Y(DE) and X(AF) do NOT mach together in any other way, with 2 or 3 Hydrogen Bonds... They also do NOT much with themselfs... This Molecular-Model of thisTriple Helix DNA fulfills all the right conditions!!! Namely, if you know the ONE Base - and its orientation - you also know which are the other two Bases!!!... (Because there is only one way to join them together!!!...) So, when the Triple Helix DNA is replicating itself... it creates - instead of two copies - three copies: 1>>>3 This Triple Helix DNA can also be used to store Information Like the Double Helix DNA !!! The IDEA of this Triple Helix DNA is very interesting... However it is a more complicated Model as the Double Helix... It is more difficult to Transcript in m-RNA and to Translate with t-RNA into Proteins: The Triple Helix DNA = 3/3 Bases... Then: or m-RNA = 1/3 Bases and t-RNA = 2/3 Bases or m-RNA = 2/3 Bases and t-RNA = 1/3 Bases But it could be possible to exist in the Universe...

Chris. D. Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I must say it is a very interesting theory and from what i gather from your post, it does seem to have a credible basis. Where is the Triple Helix? Waiting on your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koni Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 The Triple Helix DNA model - like the Double Helix DNA - has a backbone of Sugars and Phosphates !!! (In the Images you can only see the core of the Bases of the Helices) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koni Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 My Triple Helix DNA is between reality and fantasy!!!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Well, in nanoscience people are doing fancy stuff with DNA. To what end, is somewhat unclear. Sometime in the nineties a crystal structure of a triplex complexed to a peptide nucleic acid was reported, for example (can't recall the author, but it was done by then Glaxo. Since then numerous similar molecules have been published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koni Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Except that my Hypothetical Triple Helix DNA model can store INFORMATION Like the Double Helix DNA !!!... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koni Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Have you some pictures - examples of them??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koni Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) The Triple Helix DNA is unique like the Double Helix DNA... There are no other ways to store Information with Hydrogen-Bonds!!!... To store INFORMATION the Bases have to join together with only one way!!!... They can be other DNA-Molecules like with Hydrogen Bonds but they cannot store Information... Edited August 6, 2015 by Koni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
