Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

As Nature Structural Biology enters its tenth year of publication, the double helix approaches the landmark of its 50 th anniversary. Indeed, in the next few months we are likely to be reading ...

It is now ~50 years since the discovery of the atomic structure of the α-helix by Linus Pauling. Like the other great helical structure in biology, the double helix of B-DNA, it was ultimately ...

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

DNA is a complex molecule that consists of two strands coiled around each other to form a double helix structure ... The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information ...

The backbone of the DNA double helix consists of alternating phosphate and deoxyribose sugar molecules. Interlinking bases hold the two sides together. As A is complementary to T and C is ...

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 ...
