DNA origami, a fascinating technology that uses algorithms to design self-assembling 2- and 3D nanostructures using DNA helices, has added a new member to its growing catalog: multilayered capsule ...

Wrapping of origin DNA around these filaments may promote DNA unwinding and ... M., Jeruzalmi, D. Helical proteins initiate replication of DNA helices. Nat Struct Mol Biol 13, 665 ...

For 60 years, the DNA double helix has provided an iconic image of how our genetic information is held and how it reproduces. Now scientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK – where Watson and ...

DNA's double-helix structure is on display for the first time in this electron microscope photograph of a small bundle of DNA strands. Enzo Di Fabrizio Nov. 30, 2012, 4:15 PM EST / Source ...

The Beginnings of DNA Origami. In the early 1990s as an undergraduate student at Caltech, Paul Rothemund, now a computer researcher there, took a computer science class that introduced him to the ...

The discovery of DNA's role as bearer of heredity and biological information shook biology to its core and ushered in the age of molecular biology 1, a revolution whose coattails we are still ...

First, a pair of double-stranded DNA helices sit alongside each other. An enzyme known as an endonuclease then causes a single-stranded break in each of the two double strands.

DNA toolkit double-helices can been coaxed into useful shapes Researchers in the US and Germany have developed a new way to transform DNA into complex shapes by making the molecules twist and bend.

The discovery of DNA as a double helix is a hallowed story of scientific triumph. But decades later, we’re still learning that DNA is a more furiously complicated piece of biological machinery ...

The ends of the two DNA helices in the synaptic complex are held in close proximity while one part of each Mre11 protein, called the capping domain, rotates into place to adjust the position of ...

Explore the 5 key differences between DNA and RNA, including function, ... DNA molecules with left-handed helices also exist. These are known as Z-DNA. Canonical, “classic” DNA is called B-DNA. Z-DNA ...
