For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

that the DNA molecule exists in the form of a three-dimensional double helix. More than 50 years passed before the significance of Miescher's discovery of nucleic acids was widely appreciated by ...

Instead of binding to DNA through the insertion of an α-helix into the DNA major groove — a motif which is used by the ubiquitous helix–turn–helix family of transcription factors — RHH ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Chambers University of Technology have discovered that water is why DNA strands are wrapped around each other and have a helix shape. Understanding how DNA repairs itself could ...
