DNA Intercalation

01
Overview
DNA intercalation is the process by which certain molecules, typically planar aromatic compounds known as intercalators, insert themselves between adjacent base pairs of the DNA double helix. This insertion disrupts the normal structure of DNA by unwinding and elongating the helix, inhibiting replication and transcription. Intercalating agents are widely used in chemotherapy for cancer treatment.
