Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

Scientists who study biological systems at the molecular level have over the years looked to the structure of protein molecules -- how the atoms are organized -- to shed light on the diverse functions ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...

Biologists were puzzled by the discovery of left-handed Z-DNA because it seemed unnecessary. Z-DNA was stabilized by the negative supercoiling generated by transcription, which indicated a transient ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...

The DNA molecule they constructed to replicate the function of a protein called green fluorescent protein (GFP) was shown to have a novel and complicated structure by the researchers in their paper, ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...
