This landmark study describes the structure of the human RAD51 filament with a recombination intermediate called the displacement loop (D-loop). Using cryogenic structural, biochemical, and ...

All dogs deserve the chance to truly be seen, and with proper training and by recognizing their unique needs, most will be ...

EM, a high-tech method for creating 3D models of molecules that reveal their inner structures. It occurs during an essential ...

"3D electronic architectures that imitate the natural 3D structure of the brain may prove enormously ... researchers can get long DNA strands to fold themselves into 2D or 3D shapes. Snippets of DNA ...

While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they now discovered that these motors also put significant twists into the loops that they form.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed. The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by ...

Nanoscale “robots” made of DNA that rapidly self-replicate could ... Previous work has been limited to 2D shapes, which then have to be folded into 3D shapes – a process which comes with ...

Her colleague Maurice Wilkins was independently pursuing DNA’s structure, and she had grown so miserable there, largely because of their rivalry, that she had found a position at another university.

Seventy years ago, two male scientists, Francis Crick and James Watson, proclaimed they had discovered the secret of life: the structure of DNA. Since then, history has acknowledged how Rosalind ...

B-DNA is the most common form of DNA and has a right-handed double helix structure. A-DNA forms in a shorter, right-handed double helix. The function of this form is to protect DNA. DNA will ...
