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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

The Double Helix” paints Watson and Crick as lone pioneers while downplaying the contributions of others, most notably of ...

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 ...

In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...
