Researchers at EPFL have discovered how the structure of DNA packaging in cells determines which proteins can interact with the key tumor suppressor p53.

What made ribose the sugar of choice for life's code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this ...

In living organisms today, complex molecules like RNA and DNA are constructed with the help of enzymes. So how did these molecules form before life (and enzymes) existed? Why did some molecules end up ...

A predictive biophysical model that integrates protein-DNA structures and sequences to accurately determine genomic binding sites and affinities of DNA-binding proteins.

SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein complexes are ring-shaped molecular motors essential for genome folding. Despite recent progress, the detailed molecu ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...
