DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study. DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional ...
In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...
Researchers at Vilnius University (Lithuania) have uncovered how the bacterial protein Cas9, better known as the CRISPR-Cas ...
Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA’s shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.
A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...
An illustration shows a strand of engineered DNA passing through a nanoscale sensor, where its physical structure can be decoded as digital information. DNA nanostructures could one day serve as ultra ...
