designed to unwind the DNA and allow new bonds to form between the letters that make up our genetic code. Of course, it is too early to know whether these results translate for humans. But the ...

Although the file consists only of the letters Ada received and none of the letters she wrote, therefore representing half of the conversation at hand, the close bond between these women is palpable.

The new pairs may also be used in a SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment)-based method to expand the chemical characteristics of DNA to generate new protein-binding ...

DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides that are linked to one another in a chain by chemical bonds, called ester bonds, between the sugar base of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of the ...

DNA is made up of adenine-thymine (AT) bonds and guanine-cytosine (GC) bonds. The frequency of each type of bond differs substantially across bacterial species. A new study uses this quirk of ...

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...

Cells express their genes by converting the genetic message into protein. This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed ...
