But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

Earlier that morning, in the nearby Cavendish laboratory, the two scientists had discovered the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. This discovery changed the world of science and medicine ...

Each cell in our body contains a copy of our DNA code made up of A, C, G and T, providing the blueprint for the organization and function of our bodies. Normally these letters combine in pairs to form ...

Now, a new study by scientists from Delft, Vienna, and Lausanne reveals that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch directions. The new finding is published in Cell in an article ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code. These "gel automata," measuring just centimeters, can grow or shrink ...

Kinetoplastid DNA is organized into an incredible network of interlocked rings. By studying this amazing structure ... They used formaldehyde to cross-link proteins to kDNA in a reversible ...

While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they now discovered that these motors also put significant twists into the loops that they form.
