unwinding them from their usual helix shape. Surprisingly, HELQ travels much faster along the DNA when it forms a complex with RAD51, raising new questions about this process and bringing ...

In cells, the DNA helix is often overwound, causing a phenomenon known as supercoiling. In the nucleus, DNA forms a complex with proteins. This complex is called chromatin and is formed when the ...

Researchers harness the power of the world’s most advanced supercomputers to simulate the inner workings of cellular ...

DNA is a complex molecule that consists of two strands coiled around each other to form a double helix structure. Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding ...

Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures ... each working together in a complex symphony of interactions. With the exception of red blood cells ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life.

Franklin, working mostly alone, found that her x-ray diffractions showed that the "wet" form of DNA (in the higher humidity) had all the characteristics of a helix. She suspected that all DNA was ...
