In an article published in Molecular Cell, scientists have discovered how the three-dimensional organization of DNA in our ...

Beyond the ladder-like structure described above, another key characteristic of double-stranded DNA is its unique three-dimensional shape. The first photographic evidence of this shape was ...

This way DNA can reproduce itself without changing its structure -- except for occasional errors, or mutations. The structure so perfectly fit the experimental data that it was almost immediately ...

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 ...

DNA molecules are large and complex. They carry the genetic code that determines the characteristics of a living organism. The diagram shows the relationship between the cell, its nucleus, the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...
