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 ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

[to] one man, one place, one date." Laying the Groundwork: Levene Investigates the Structure of DNA Meanwhile, even as Miescher's name fell into obscurity by the twentieth century, other ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that make up the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...

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 ...

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 ...

Original DNA template - DNA is a double helix made of two complementary strands. Each strand can be used as a template to create a new DNA molecule. Free DNA nucleotides – needed to form the new ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

In the new work, Rothemund and his colleagues used DNA origami to create a lilypad-like structure—a flat, circular surface about 100 nanometers in diameter, tethered by a DNA linker to a gold ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life.
