The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...
Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing the ...

DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of their tertiary structures and binding mechanisms hinders their further ...
In the grand hall of scientific “Eureka!” moments, few have been paraded around as proudly as the discovery of DNA’s double helix—the so-called blueprint of life, the sacred code behind genetics, ...
Scientists have figured out how proteins may have been created on early Earth. When a bone grows, our bodies’ proteins help provide the structure. When a muscle tears, proteins help rebuild it. When ...
