A DNA is thought to be one of three biologically active double helical structures along with B DNA B and Z DNA . It is a right handed double helix fairly similar to the more common and well known B DNA form, but with a shorter more compact helical structure. It appears likely that it occurs only in dehydrated samples of DNA, such as those used in crystallographic experiments, and possibly is also assumed by DNA RNA hybrid helices and by regions of double stranded RNA.

Naked DNA is histone free DNA that is passed from cell to cell during a gene transfer process called transformation genetics transformation or transfection . In transformation, purified or naked DNA is taken up by the recipient cell which will give the recipient cell a new characteristic or phenotype . Transfection differs from transformation since the DNA is not generally incorporated into the cell s genome, it is only transiently expressed. In the field of DNA vaccines or genetic immunization, the term naked DNA was coined by Vical to mean DNA delivered free from agents which promote transfection. Research on the use of naked DNA for DNA vaccination s and gene therapy has shown some initial success, but have not yet resulted in any generally available therapy.
