DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides ...

SMC proteins can reverse direction, reshaping DNA and solving key scientific debates. This discovery could impact research on ...

Scientists develop DNA nanorobots capable of modifying artificial cells. Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have ...

The new finding is published in Cell in an article titled, “ SMC motor proteins extrude DNA asymmetrically and can switch directions ,” and is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes ...

A team of researchers from NUS has developed a novel method to enhance the precision of cancer treatment using gold ...

A recent study by researchers from Peking University demonstrates the potential of nuclear electric resonance to control the nuclear spins of nitrogen atoms in DNA using electric field gradients, ...

Used in the design of products and architecture, shape grammar rules are planning tools that help manipulate shapes to fit within defined rules to generate a new design. Because DNA's makeup is ...

Scientists have discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make loops into DNA could move in one ...
