The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

The UCL School of Pharmacy has a long history of characterisation of alternative DNA structures, from the first crystal structure of a different DNA structure called a G-quadruplex, in a 2011 ...

During DNA replication, the classic double helix can temporarily rearrange into an alternative structure known as a DNA three ...

An unusual DNA structure may hold the key to treating one of the deadliest cancers affecting women, which claims more than ...

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred to as non-B DNA—have been implicated as regulators of cellular ...

Shankar Balasubramanian is thinking beyond DNA’s four-letter code Coinventor of next-generation sequencing has widened his focus to DNA’s large-scale structures and molecular modifications ...

The genetic material from the donor makes up less than 1% of the baby born by using the experimental IVF technique.
