A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and ...

RAD52 has already shown promise as a drug target. Inhibitors of the protein can selectively kill cancerous cells while sparing healthy ones, reducing the collateral damage typically caused by ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

New research delves into the DNA details and chromatin structures that may predict prognosis in early-stage lung ...

Kanazawa University and colleagues have achieved a breakthrough in understanding sperm DNA packaging. Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), they captured the real-time process of ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have for the first time used DNA to help create 3D electronically operational devices ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

can fold into a DNA structure called a G-quadruplex, or G4 for short, which is more compact than normal DNA. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), a team of structural and molecular biologists ...
