DNA was largely accepted as the genetic molecule. Scientists still needed to figure out this molecule's structure to be sure, and to understand how it worked. In 1948, Linus Pauling discovered ...

Crick and Watson were trying to build a 3D model of the DNA molecule. But they were not the only ones working on finding its structure. They were competing with a team at King's College London ...

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 ...

EPFL scientists have identified a new property, interface flexibility, that controls how certain molecules naturally ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecular "blueprint" carrying the genetic instructions that influence the growth, ...

A high resolution structure of a dodecanucleotide confirms some accepted features of sequence-dependent DNA structure, highlights the possibility that other structural variations may be due to ...

Researchers have uncovered a way to manipulate DNA at the atomic level using electric field gradients to control nitrogen ...

According to this rule, the amount of adenine is equal to the amount of thymine, and the amount of guanine is equal to the amount of cytosine in a double-stranded DNA molecule. This 1:1 ratio of A:T ...

Cigarette smoke causes cancer primarily by damaging the DNA. A new study that mapped the DNA damages caused by smoking, reveals that the way our DNA is organized and chemically modified can influence ...
