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 ...

The DNA glycosylase MutY, which is a member of the Helix-hairpin-Helix (HhH ... structures of the MutY catalytic core (cMutY), the complex with bound adenine, and designed mutants reveal the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In their latest study, published in Nature Communications, the team has built a computer model of a critical NER component ...

"The DNA double helix is one of the most recognizable molecular ... to block or enhance the activity of a particular protein ...

New research pioneered by The University of Western Australia is shedding light on the intricate dance between proteins, DNA ...

This process takes place in the nucleus and occurs in a series of stages. The two strands of the DNA helix are unzipped by breaking of the weak Hydrogen bonds between base pairs. This unwinding of ...

In DNA, two complementary strands of nucleotides pair up through hydrogen bonds between the bases (A with T and G with C) to form the iconic double helix structure. RNA is usually single-stranded but ...
