Not much is currently known about the structure of dark matter. For a start, it was never directly observed. There is only indirect evidence for dark matter. Therefore, it isn't know what types of structures it forms, if any.
Dark matter
dark matter
Dark matter is inferred to exist because of the gravitational effects it has on visible matter in the universe. Observations of galaxies rotating faster than expected and the bending of light around massive objects support the presence of dark matter. However, dark matter itself has not been directly observed or detected.
Based on just a few simple things that popular news magazines mentionwhen they talk about the weird subject of dark matter, we're pretty safein assuming that dark matter has no electrical charge.-- No place in the universe is known to have dark matter.-- Dark matter is hypothesized ("just a theory") but has never been observed.-- It can't have an electrical charge, because if it did, then---- it would interact with other observed electrical charges and observed electromagnetic fields,------ which is exactly what it doesn't do,-------- which is why it has never been observed and is called "dark" matter.
Dark matter and dark energy have NOT been detected yet, so any ideas about detecting dark energy and dark matter, whether it be directly or indirectly, is speculation for now.
Probably not. Dark matter is not believed to concentrate well in or around masses the size of stars. But it does concentrate well around galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Most of the mass of a galaxy like ours is believed to be in a sphere of dark matter in the galaxy's spherical halo.
No, DNA does not contain dark matter that codes for specific structural proteins. DNA is made up of specific sequences of nucleotides that code for proteins through the process of transcription and translation. Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that has not been directly observed or detected in DNA.
'Dark matter' and 'dark energy' have not been observed or proven yet.

Dark matter is known to exist, due to its gravitational effects. It has not been observed directly.It is believed to be some as-yet unknown particle, which doesn't interact at all, or only very little, with normal matter, or with light, via any force other than gravitation. Thus, for example, it won't absorb or emit light - light will pass right through it.
