Shortly after, Watson and Crick made a crucial advance when they proposed that the DNA molecule was made up of two chains of nucleotides paired in such a way to form a double helix, like a spiral ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

Why is the heart slightly on the left side of the body for most people? Why is DNA almost always a right-handed helix? Same ...

Franklin, working mostly alone, found that her x-ray diffractions showed that the "wet" form of DNA (in the higher humidity) had all the characteristics of a helix. She suspected that all DNA was ...

While [Fabien] was working on his DNA Lamp project he needed to bend a ... The tool utilizes an 8mm rod that will ensure the ID of the helix is indeed 8mm. We’ve already discussed that was ...

An analysis of tissue samples from nearly 1,200 older adults found that the more insertions individuals had, the younger they died.

Researchers at the Chambers University of Technology have discovered that water is why DNA strands are wrapped around each other and have a helix shape. Understanding how DNA repairs itself could ...

A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...

These bases intertwine in a spiral pattern to create the molecule's familiar double helix structure ... Calculate the number of base pairs in 1 gram of DNA: 1 g / (1.096 × 10^-21 g/base pair) ≈ 9.12 × ...

The footprint is asymmetric, extending 8 to 9 nucleotides on the 3’-OH side of the nick and 11 to 12 nucleotides on ... beta barrel plus an alpha helix. Structural Basis for Nick Recognition by a ...
