Could DNA be glycosylated? A new study published in Engineering explores this intriguing question, suggesting that DNA might undergo glycosylation, a process that could revolutionize our understanding ...

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

We present here the NMR solution structure of a self-complementary DNA oligonucleotide with three consecutive imidazole nucleotides in its centre.

Scientists have a new theory about the structure of DNA. Two strands of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups make up the DNA double helix, and the strands were thought to be linked by ...

Key Points Designed DNA molecules have broad applications in molecular nanotechnology that exploit three properties of DNA: its sequence, structure and folding pathways.

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

Small changes in the structure of DNA have been implicated in breast cancer and other diseases, but they've been extremely difficult to detect -- until now. Using what they describe as a 'chemical ...

The discovery of DNA structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in the year 1953 is one of the most revolutionary scientific discoveries to date. However, the research leading to the discovery of ...

Two researchers say that Rosalind Franklin knowingly collaborated with James Watson and Francis Crick to discover the molecular structure of DNA.

In 1963, Popular Science reported on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery, and Rosalind Franklin⁠—the woman who was left out of the accolades.

Though scientists have learned much about DNA damage and repair over the past 50 years, important outstanding questions remain. One particularly bedeviling puzzle is how a repair protein called the ...
