Electrostatic effects are widely accepted as being highly important to specific protein–DNA interactions and to the enzymatic processing of DNA. Among the more important and structurally specific of ...
The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...
In Wikipedia, there are 21 scientists listed who made significant contributions to determining the structure of DNA. In recent decades the focus has been on the contributions of only 3 of those ...
In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...
DNA is made up of adenine-thymine (AT) bonds and guanine-cytosine (GC) bonds. The frequency of each type of bond differs substantially across bacterial species. A new study uses this quirk of ...
The results of this collaborative project overturn some conventional wisdom about how the DNA repair process works. DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts ...
The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed. The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a ...
One of the most important milestones in modern science, does April 25 also mark the date of an intellectual heist? As has been well-documented, a third person contributed to the discovery — the ...
In 1963, Popular Science reported on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery, and the woman who was left out of the accolades. By Bill Gourgey Published May 31, 2022 7:00 AM EDT Get the Popular Science ...
DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts in DNA provides information for building an organism. What’s not captured by this analogy is the fact that our DNA ...
