A new study published in Aging Cell reveals that a well-known enzyme, long known for its involvement with cancer, actually ...

Rosalind Franklin’s contribution to discovering the structure of life’s genetic material rarely receives more mention than a ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a ...

Seventy years ago, a trio of scientific papers announcing the discovery of DNA’s double helix was published. Watson, Crick and Wilkins won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1962 for ...

Reconstructing accurately how the parts of a complex molecular are held together knowing only how the molecule distorts and breaks up. This was the challenge taken on by a research team led by SISSA’s ...

We looked at the inverse problem: we started from the DNA’s response to aggressive stresses, such as the forced unzipping of the double helix, to recover the details of the thermodynamics.

A typical DNA molecule is made up of two polynucleotide strands forming a double helix. The section below shows a method of imaging the secondary structure of DNA using PeakForce Tapping and standard ...
