Scientists determine structure of a DNA damage 'first responder' Date: March 21, 2022 Source: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Summary: The results of this collaborative project overturn ...

The scientists analyzed the structure of the connector – the core of the phi29 DNA packaging motor – to a resolution of 3.2 angstroms, or 3.2 hundred-millionths of a centimeter. Their findings show ...

The Discovery of DNA's Structure: They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret ...

The structure of DNA was originally discovered using X-ray crystallography. This involves X-rays scattering off atoms in crystallised arrays of DNA to form a complex pattern of dots on ...

The researchers were focusing on i-motif DNA, which has an interlocking structure resembling a knot, and was only confirmed to be found in living human cells in 2018.

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.

Next, researchers turned to Hi-C, an established method to reveal the structure of genome packaging based on DNA sequences that are caught residing near each other. (Hi-C isn’t an acronym.

A primary goal of his research over the past several years has been to reconstitute the entire DNA replication-and-repair process in a test tube, apart from a surrounding cell. As a result of this ...
