A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...
Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...
In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...
For the first time, scientists have captured the exact moment DNA begins to unravel, shedding light on a fundamental chemical process that enables DNA to serve as the blueprint for life. A recent ...
Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...
An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study ...
