The discovery of Hoogsteen base pairs, an alternative pairing mode to the canonical Watson–Crick structure, has significantly broadened our understanding of DNA dynamics. This conformation, in which ...
Although the information that can be crammed into a genome is remarkably complex, the molecule underlying it all obeys remarkably simple rules. In every creature we’ve studied, there are four bases ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Hydrogen bond base pairing forces are essential for the mechanisms associated with DNA stability. Despite attracting great research attention, this fundamental interaction has ...
Hydrogen-bonded dimers of one and two base-pair nucleotides can be stabilized inside the hydrophobic pocket provided by self-assembled molecular cages. The results could bring DNA-based computing a ...
LA JOLLA, CA – A new study led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute suggests that the replication process for DNA—the genetic instructions for living organisms that is composed of four ...
Molecular models are a tried-and-tested tool for teaching chemistry to students of all ages. By enabling users to visualize the three-dimensional structure of a molecule and how its atoms are arranged ...
Chemists at Virginia Tech are creating new polymers by adding DNA base pairs. Attributes include improved stretchable behavior and self-healing polymer films and coatings. Chemists at Virginia Tech ...
Over just a few short years the CRISPR gene-editing technique has revolutionized science, affecting everything from medicine to agriculture. Two new breakthrough studies have just been published ...
In the search for the chemical origins of life, researchers have found a possible alternative path for the emergence of the characteristic DNA pattern: According to the experiments, the characteristic ...
The genome sustains so much wear and tear, much of it hardly noticeable, that even the small portion of DNA damage that stays unrepaired far exceeds our inventory-taking abilities. Taking stock of DNA ...
Scientists have bent DNA into bizarre, basket-woven shapes, from spheres to corkscrews. The new DNA origami, described Thursday in the journal Science, is one of the first steps in designing tiny nano ...
