In the world of nanotechnology, the development of dynamic systems that respond to molecular signals is becoming increasingly ...

DNA achieves this feat of storing, coding and transferring biological information though its unique structure. Replication of DNA DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical ...

LMU chemists present two studies that open up new possibilities for biotechnological applications.

Text messages and chats online can include a combination of words, pictures and emoji to convey a message. Words and pictures can be easily understood, but deciphering emoji might feel like decodi ...

The Plague May Have Caused the Downfall of the Stone Age Farmers July 10, 2024 — Ancient DNA from bones and teeth hints at a role of the plague in Stone Age population collapse. Contrary to ...

An analysis of tissue samples from nearly 1,200 older adults found that the more insertions individuals had, the younger they died.

During DNA replication, special enzymes move up along the DNA ladder, unzipping the molecule as it moves along. New nucleotides move in to each side of the unzipped ladder. The bases on these ...

Researchers show how DNA origami and fluorescent probes can be used to release molecular cargo in a targeted manner.

As previously mentioned, the location at which a DNA strand begins to unwind into two separate single strands is known as the origin of replication. As shown in Figure 1, when the double helix ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958 ...
