A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures ... each with a specific function. For example, the long, narrow muscle cell is designed to contract ...

Indeed, the experiments connecting heredity and the structure of DNA were happening in parallel, so the next few years would be an exciting time for the discovery of DNA function.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the information-carrying molecule found in all living organisms. In most animal, plant and fungal cells DNA is stored in the nucleus coiled up in thread-like ...

This discovery, along with the identification of other nitrogenous bases, laid the foundation for our understanding of DNA and RNA structure. Cytosine can be ... typically single-stranded and serves ...

revision-guideDNA and inheritance What is DNA and how is the structure of this hereditary molecule responsible for its function? How are scientists using their knowledge of DNA to create and use ...

Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now ...

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 ...

One of the main challenges is understanding the complex interplay between guanine and the other nucleobases in the context of DNA and RNA structure and function. Investigating how modifications to ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena have discovered a new function of the DNA repair protein ATR in regulating mitochondrial homeostasis. This discovery ...
