To actually visualize the double-helical structure of DNA, researchers require special ... process that attaches the chromosomes to a glass slide and stains or "paints" them.

“Unlike other DNA structures, the G-quadruplex structure is fairly brittle ... attaching one end of the DNA to a glass slide and the other end to a tiny magnetic bead. A magnet held above the sample ...

We propose that PCNA slides by tracking the DNA backbone via a ‘cogwheel ... Coordinates and structure factors of the PCNA–dsDNA complex are deposited in the Protein Data Bank under accession ...

This structure could also prevent the ... to initiate repair of these mismatches. MutS slides along the newly created side of the DNA strand after it's replicated, proofreading it.

Scientists who study molecular structures have known this ever since James Watson saw Photo 51 and went on to deduce DNA's structure with Francis Crick. Researchers today continue to rely on ...

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 ...

Her colleague Maurice Wilkins was independently pursuing DNA’s structure, and she had grown so miserable there, largely because of their rivalry, that she had found a position at another university.

But the Nobel Foundation only awarded three scientists for the discovery of DNA’s structure: James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. Since 1869, scientists had known about DNA ...

A piece that aired on NPR this week about the discovery of DNA's structure neglected to mention the significant contribution of Rosalind Franklin to that scientific milestone. And now some ...
