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 ...

A high resolution structure of a dodecanucleotide confirms some accepted features of sequence-dependent DNA structure, highlights the possibility that other structural variations may be due to ...

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 is a complex molecule that consists of two strands coiled around each other to form a double helix structure. Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding ...

Although the genetic sequence is the same in every cell in the body, only a subset of those genes is expressed by each cell.

In this webinar, Ed Boyden and Jerzy Szablowski will talk about how synthetic biology can help develop tools for studying and repairing the brain. Experts from the Women’s Brain Foundation and bit.bio ...

A generative AI-based technique can predict thousands of 3D genomic structures in just minutes, enabling researchers to more ...

A team has unearthed new findings about what happens during the minutes and hours after a cell divides, expanding our understanding of human biology -- and potentially leading to better medicines.

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...

Red arrows indicate the nuclear spin axes at the positions of the N3 nitrogen atoms on the guanine (G) bases. Due to the helical structure of DNA, there is an angular deviation in the orientation of ...
