DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of ...

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...

Watson and Crick describe structure of DNA 1953 Photo: Model of DNA molecule In the late nineteenth century, a German biochemist found the nucleic acids, long-chain polymers of nucleotides, were ...

The 1.9-Å-resolution crystal structure of the nucleosome core particle containing 147 DNA base pairs reveals the conformation of nucleosomal DNA with unprecedented accuracy. The DNA structure is ...

The technique will let researchers see how proteins, RNA and other biomolecules interact with DNA. The structure of DNA was originally discovered using X-ray crystallography.

Despite her contribution to the discovery of DNA's helical structure, Rosalind Franklin was not named a prize winner: She had died of cancer four years earlier, at the age of 37.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

DNA, the hereditary material in living organisms, encodes genetic instructions for development and function. We explore its structure, replication, and role in biotechnology.
