Computational chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a ...

DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of their tertiary structures and binding mechanisms hinders their further ...

Conceptual frameworks that describe the electronic structure of molecules are an integral part of understanding chemical structures and reaction mechanisms and designing organic compounds. Here we ...

They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...

DNA double-strand breaks occur daily in all human cells and must be repaired with high fidelity to minimize genomic instability. Deficiencies in high-fidelity DNA repair by homologous recombination ...

Scientists uncovered DNA's double helix structure in 1953. James Watson and Francis Crick proposed the model. It explained ...

James D. Watson, whose role as co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 made him one of the key figures in the rise of molecular biology as well as the obvious choice to be first ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

Newly developed DNA nanostructures can form flexible, fluid, and stimuli-responsive condensates without relying on chemical cross-linking, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo and ...

James Watson, the scientist who became famous for helping discover the structure of DNA in 1953 and notorious decades later for suggesting that Black people are intellectually inferior to whites, has ...
