Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...

Nanowires are vital components for future nanoelectronics, sensors, and nanomedicine. To achieve the required complexity, it is necessary to control the position and growth of the metal chains on an ...

Researchers have developed a method to program the spatial organization of double-stranded DNA by incorporating Hoogsteen interactions. Researchers at Aarhus University (Denmark) have developed a ...

Many people picture the classic double-stranded helix when picturing a molecule of DNA, but DNA is also capable of forming far more complex structures. Usually though, those structures are not ...

In the early 1990s, Jacqueline Barton, the John G. Kirkwood and Arthur A. Noyes Professor of Chemistry at Caltech, discovered an unexpected property of DNA--that it can act like an electrical wire to ...

Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double-stranded helix of DNA to how heart muscle cells spiral in a band. Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers from Hiroshima ...

James Watson, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who co-discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, has died. Watson was 97 years old and passed away after a brief illness. His groundbreaking ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...
