Researchers explore a basic building block used in the fabrication of many DNA nanoforms. Known as a Holliday junction, this nexus of two segments of double stranded DNA has been used to form ...

Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites are called endonucleases; these enzymes play many roles in genomic replication, fidelity, and defense. The initial discovery of restriction endonucleases in the ...

DNA Full Form: The full name of DNA is Deoxyribonucleic Acid. This molecule holds the complete genetic code of living organisms. The name “Deoxyribonucleic Acid” reflects its part: “Deoxy” points to ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

Scientists found that DNA’s phosphate groups can direct chemical reactions to make the correct mirror-image form of drug ...

Scientists at NUS have found that DNA’s phosphate groups can guide chemical reactions like molecular “hands.” Chemists at the ...

In nature, DNA contains the instructions for the cells that allow life to grow, thrive, and reproduce. Researchers see great potential in DNA for its ability to direct assemble of a wide range of ...

Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have found a new use for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), not just as ...
