Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson-Crick double helix in all its glory, by imaging threads of DNA resting on a silicon bed of nails. The technique will let researchers see ...

Fifty-nine years after James Watson and Francis Crick deduced the double-helix structure ... picture using an electron microscope. Previously, scientists had only seen DNA's structure indirectly.

(Phys.org) —A team of researchers working at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Beijing, has used cryo-electron microscopy ... turn form double-helical structures similar to the DNA that ...

Enzo di Fabrizio and colleagues from the University of Genoa, Italy, developed a technique to capture the famous double helix of DNA using a scanning electron microscope. Deoxyribonucleic acid ...

With an electron microscope, you can zoom in even more ... are what link the two strands of the double helix together. DNA models based on X-ray crystallography or NMR can include the individual ...

The first direct images of the DNA double helix have been taken using electron microscopy. In a study published in the journal NanoLetters, Enzo di Fabrizio, head of the Nanostructures Department ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), a team ... G-quadruplexes and Cancer "The DNA double helix is one of the most recognizable molecular structures in science," Dr. Batra says.

This organization can be explained by weak interactions between nucleosomes, which are the repetitive blocks that fold the ...

Many cellular core components, such as DNA, RNA, proteins and lipids, are just a few nanometers in size. This makes them substantially smaller than the resolution limit of traditional light microscopy ...
