DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

Animation of a DNA strand stylized as metal. Seamless loop. Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis ...

The translocation of DNA in polymerase (Pol) enzymes is a critical step for Pol-mediated nucleic acid polymerization, essential for storing and transmitting genetic information in all living organisms ...

Thus, with this respect, some specific inhibitors of these enzymes such as paramagnetic divalent metal cations (25Mg2+, 43Ca2+, and 67Zn2+) and the ultrashort single-stranded DNA fragments are ...

Measurement of the conformation of DNA in protein–DNA complexes is important to decipher the role of the DNA conformation and dynamics in protein recognition and function. In this work, we report a ...

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

Since the 1950s, researchers have used a famous method invented by Wallace Coulter known as "flow cytometry" to characterize ...

In DNA origami, a lengthy single-stranded DNA molecule is folded into a specific shape using short, complementary strands called staples. These staples bind to particular sites on the DNA, forcing ...

The electrical conduction through polycation stabilized short (15 base-pairs, ~5.4nm) double standard (ds)-DNA molecules are measured at ambient. The metal-DNA interface properties are studied by ...

At technology conferences back in 2015, scientist David Markowitz raised the idea that DNA could be adapted as a data storage material. The audience response wasn’t all he had hoped for. “They would ...

When cells reproduce, the internal mechanisms that copy DNA get it right nearly every time. Rice University bioscientists have uncovered a tiny detail that helps understand how the process could go ...
