<hemical reactions commonly occur at several nanometers. After all, the electromagnetic force increases at the inverse-square of the distance. A nanometer is pretty close and so the forces are large.
I first thought you found this article at the onion.>

Actually, this is "double" stranded. Single strands rebuild (all sorts of examples of that in cellular and other processes) and lots of simple research tools use that.

Clearly it's not "Onion" material or it wouldn't get into the Journal of Chemistry:

Tissue induction (communication) also occurs over small distances, although large compared to the above, but molecular diffusion is also known to be at work and assumed by most to be THE factor.

Coulomb's & Faraday's laws are examples showing that "chemical" is actually electic and magnetic activity. People seem to think that "Chemical molecules touching or bonding" are separate from fields... which isn't the case of course. IMHO we can expect a LOT more longer distance action currently thought of as "spooky" by some to discovered in biology... as cutting edge Biophysics already assumes. For example developmental patterns like those used by ASU Biophysics chair Newman aren't surprising to those who have looked at B-fields as well as (induced by) Coulombic forces all long: (flip down to Lonenz attractor looking slide)

Of course here I'm talking about live cells and tissue interaction, where above it's just DNA...
