We’ve all seen it, the red and white sphere image above that represents the coronavirus ... RNA is a messenger, carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the merging of proteins.
This image shows, on the left, DNA G-quadruplex structures (red foci) are present in human cancer cell nuclei (blue). On the right, more structures are visualized after treatment with a G ...
It is possible to classify images simply by analysing the way that trillions of DNA molecules in a test tube connect together into different shapes. Conventional computers must be fully assembled ...
The illustration shows DNA being folded into a loop by an SMC motor called cohesin (in purple/blue). The purple part of the motor (with a red/green label) is the protein subunit NIPBL, which acts ...
During the process of transcription, DNA is converted to RNA, a complex molecule that is able to carry genetic information outside of the cell's nucleus. This page guides you through the ...
BRCA2 (red) helps RAD51 (yellow) form short filaments on strands of broken DNA (blue), enabling it to look for matching strands of DNA and repair the break. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!
The decoding of information in a cell's DNA into proteins begins with a complex interaction of nucleic acids. Learn how this step inside the nucleus leads to protein synthesis in the cytoplasm.
