Primes¶
- Complementarity
- In biochemistry and molecular biology, Watson–Crick base-pairing pairs adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine; antibody paratopes are shape-complementary to antigen epitopes, and enzyme active sites to their substrates.
This sourceDescribes the DNA double helix with complementary base pairing (A–T, G–C), where each strand is the reverse complement of the other and templates replication. (
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract states DNA's specific pairing and a copying mechanism, but names no A–T/G–C pair and says nothing of antibody paratopes, enzyme active sites, or conjugate observables.
“It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing that we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
