Zusammenfassung
DNA, der universelle Träger genetischer Information, konnte durch Erkenntnisse der letzten Jahre als ein Molekül charakterisiert werden, das strukturell in verschiedenen polymorphen Formen existiert. Die Aufgabe dieses Artikels soll deshalb sein, eine Beschreibung des DNA Moleküles unter Berücksichtigung dessen struktureller Flexibilität zu geben.
