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 ...

report that they have imaged the DNA double helix for the first time through an electron microscope. Working with colleagues at the University of Magna Grecia in Catanzaro, the team says it ...

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.

Researchers have discovered how the protein XPD detects severe DNA damage and controls its repair. The XPD protein is a central component of our body's own "DNA repair team," known as nucleotide ...

A double helix of DNA is just 2 nanometers wide ... This is why scientists look at super-small things with electron microscopes, because the wavelength of an electron can be a LOT smaller than ...

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 ...
