base-pair

基本解释

Empirical rules, which take into account the non-neighbor interactions between the base-pair steps, have been presented to predict DNA curvature.
考虑到碱基对梯阶间的非紧邻相互作用，提出DNA宏观弯曲的经验预测规则。
Using a computer code and four bottles of chemicals, Venter’s lab creates the largest man-made DNA structure by synthesizing and assembling the 582,970-base-pair genome of a bacterium.
借助计算机代码和四瓶化学品，文特尔的实验室通过合成和组装，创造了最大的人造DNA结构，即细菌582970 -碱基对的基因组。
The researchers found that the polarization was a strong function of the length of the DNA strands – with 80 base-pair-long strands giving 60% polarization but 25 base pairs only yielding about 10%.
研究人员发现，极化率大小明显由DNA链的长度决定——80个碱基对长度的DNA链产生了60%的极化率，而25个碱基对长度所致的极化率只达到10%。

It might be that the two base-pair system is the best.
