Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During ...

Levene Investigates the Structure of DNA Meanwhile, even as Miescher's name fell into obscurity by the twentieth century, other scientists continued to investigate the chemical nature of the ...

What is it made of, and what is its function in living things? How do we study the molecular structure of DNA? And why do ...

DNA was largely accepted as the genetic molecule. Scientists still needed to figure out this molecule's structure to be sure, and to understand how it worked. In 1948, Linus Pauling discovered ...

A unique feature of HR is that it repairs the damage to the DNA in a highly accurate way. In eukaryotic cells (those with a ...

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 ...

This is, in large part, due to the discovery of the structure of DNA and the launch of the field of molecular biology. At roughly the same time, less flashy discoveries were made that were ...

Many people have been outraged by accounts that Watson and Crick used Franklin’s unpublished data without her knowledge or consent in making their model of DNA’s molecular structure.

After one DNA molecule was trapped on the surface treated by APTES, the DNA molecule was stretched by pressure flow and immobilized. Credit: AIP Advances (2025). DOI: 10.1063/5.0223375 ...

The next step was to find out its structure and Cambridge scientists Francis Crick and Watson were trying to build a 3D model of the DNA molecule. They were competing with a team at King’s ...

In its structure, DNA contains a pattern for producing amino acids, proteins, lipids, sugars, and every other biomolecule an organism makes. The parts of a DNA molecule that have these ...
