DNA: Metal double helix Single-stranded DNA as supramolecular template for highly organized palladium nanowires Date: March 26, 2021 Source: Wiley Summary: Nanowires are vital components for ...

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

DNA has the potential for assembling networks with a variety of geometries. Although short pieces of double-strand DNA (below about 50 nm) essentially form a linear stack, intricate spatial structures ...

The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the integrity of this vast store of information. They constantly untangle ...

DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers have discovered that strand separation may take more mechanical force than the field previously believed.

During repair, the DNA reads the uracil as thymine. Although there's no double-stranded break, base editors do create a nick in one strand.

How can you write data to DNA without changing the base sequence? A new method lets anyone with a kit write data to DNA with just one enzyme.

To determine where DNA polymerase was and what it was doing, Xu and his colleagues combined two methods: confocal microscopy and optical tweezers. The team stretched an 8,000 kilobase strand of DNA ...

Moreover, HiDEF-seq detected changes in the DNA letter code while they were present on just one of the two strands of DNA, before they become permanent double-strand mutations.

If a DNA strand made exclusively of adenine bases is used, one palladium complex binds to each adenine. The flat ligands assemble themselves into coplanar stacks, just like natural bases.
