In 1953, when scientists conclusively identified DNA’s structure, it was a monumental, Nobel-Prize-winning revelation: four nucleotides, each containing a letter-labeled base, were arranged in a ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

Such research included the crucial X-ray diffraction image of DNA labeled as “Photo 51” from Rosalind Franklin ... “We wish to put forward a radically different structure for the salt of deoxyribose ...

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 ...

Researchers unveil the fractal globule structure of DNA, providing new insights into genome organization and its implications ...

In the first technique, molecules are labelled with a fluorescent ... insights into how the sequence affects the structure and dynamics of DNA, even for the relatively simple DNA structures ...

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 ...
