Key concepts Biology Life DNA Double helix Introduction Ever wondered how DNA, the genetic blueprint of a life-form, can encode and pass on the information on how to grow and maintain that life ...

Researchers have imaged in unprecedented detail the three-dimensional structure of supercoiled DNA, revealing that its shape is much more dynamic than the well-known double helix.

Breaking bonds: Double-helix unzipping reveals DNA physics Using previously developed theoretical and mathematical models, researchers used information on the speed of the process of DNA unzipping ...

More DNA doesn't just coil in the iconic double helix immortalized in every high school biology textbook. It also loops into a menagerie of fantastical shapes, new research finds.

This led to a Hoogsteen model of the DNA double helix 14 that did not fit the diffraction data as well as the Watson-Crick model, but one could rely on the fiber diffraction data only to a limited ...

It is the famous lightbulb-going-off story every school kid learns: How James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA, cementing their place in scientific history. But as William ...
