Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing protein clumping and ensuring healthy cellular function.

Researchers have developed a method to program the spatial organization of double-stranded DNA by incorporating Hoogsteen interactions. Researchers at Aarhus University (Denmark) have developed a ...

Researchers from the Gothelf lab at Aarhus University have developed a new method to manipulate the shape of DNA, opening up exciting new avenues for exploration in molecular biology, nanotechnology, ...

Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double-stranded helix of DNA to how heart muscle cells spiral in a band. Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers from Hiroshima ...

It might enable inexpensive, highly sensitive at-home diagnostic tests for COVID-19, influenza, Ebola and more. In this illustration based on cryo-electron microscope images, a Cas12a2 protein unzips ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been studying DNA repair by homologous recombination, where the RecA protein repairs breaks in double-stranded DNA by incorporating a ...

In the CRISPR toolkit, Cas12a2 is like a Swiss Army Knife—one tool that can do multiple things. The nuclease performs RNA-guided, sequence-nonspecific degradation of single-stranded RNA, ...

RNA Timeline: A History in Hybridization and Structure Alexander Rich and David Davies discover the double-stranded RNA helix and show that polyribo U and polyribo A hybridize spontaneously.6 Ben Hall ...
