The code that represents deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) antibodies, particularly those targeting native or double-stranded DNA, is often referred to as anti-dsDNA antibodies. These antibodies are commonly associated with autoimmune diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). They specifically bind to the double-stranded structure of DNA, distinguishing them from antibodies that target single-stranded DNA.
The weakest bonds in a double-stranded molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid exist between the nitrogenous bases of the two strands. These bonds are hydrogen bonds, which form between specific complementary base pairs (adenine with thymine, and guanine with cytosine).
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains the cell's genome. DNA is a double-stranded molecule that stores the genetic information of an organism.
