Scientists at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden say they have disproved the prevailing theory of how DNA binds itself. It is not, they claim, as is generally believed, hydrogen bonds ...
No "sticky ends"? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the sticky cohesion of hydrogen bonding. This finding, published in Nature ...
For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different chemical force than natural genetic material. While the common natural DNA ...
Scientists have a new theory about the structure of DNA. Two strands of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups make up the DNA double helix, and the strands were thought to be linked by ...
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 ...
