Noah Ford and Sophia Lemay refined a method to extract DNA from a bacteriophage, allowing future classes to make new virus ...

DNA origami, which provides a ∼100 nm self-assembled template for single-molecule organization with 5 nm resolution and (ii) top-down lithography, which patterns these DNA nanostructures, transforming ...

A powerful new discovery reveals that Nup98 a protein once thought to only ferry molecules through the nucleus plays a vital ...

When DNA breaks inside the cell, it can spell disaster, especially if the damage occurs in areas of the genome that are ...

Scientists have made a key breakthrough in treating respiratory diseases by developing a new drug delivery system that ...

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and affects more than a tenth of Americans aged 65 and older. The ...

Proteins and nucleic acids are essential biological macromolecules for cell life. Indeed, interactions between proteins and DNA regulate many biological processes such as protein synthesis, signal ...

The enzyme takes part in a specific DNA repair mechanism, namely, the Base excision repair (BER). During BER, polβ replaces a nucleotide containing a modified or absent nitrogenous base in the ...

Life is thought to have begun when RNA began replicating itself, and researchers have got close to achieving this in the lab ...

We introduce MADna, a sequence-dependent coarse-grained model of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), where each nucleotide is described by three ... grained description for the rationalization of ...
