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

Shortly after, Watson and Crick made a crucial advance when they proposed that the DNA molecule was made up of two chains of nucleotides paired in such a way to form a double helix, like a spiral ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at ...

Instead of binding to DNA through the insertion of an α-helix into the DNA major groove — a motif which is used by the ubiquitous helix–turn–helix family of transcription factors — RHH ...

Feedback, a Lego fan, delves into a new science-related set, and learns that the model of a DNA double helix is the wrong way ...

Franklin, working mostly alone, found that her x-ray diffractions showed that the "wet" form of DNA (in the higher humidity) had all the characteristics of a helix. She suspected that all DNA was ...

Every day, billions of cells in your body divide, helping to replace old and injured cells with new ones. And each time this ...

Following is a transcript of the video. Manny: Commercial DNA tests have been a huge trend lately. They were some of the most popular holiday gifts last year. Which makes sense, there's so much ...

Researchers have mapped 50,000 of DNA's mysterious "knots" in the human genome. The innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new approaches for treatment and diagnosis of diseases ...

Researchers at Georgia State University used the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called ...

Researchers at the Chambers University of Technology have discovered that water is why DNA strands are wrapped around each other and have a helix shape. Understanding how DNA repairs itself could ...

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.
