Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University have directly visualized how enzymes find and break DNA molecules in real time. Using high-speed atomic force ...

Metal ions bridging the grooves of two DNA helices explain how they lock together, the first direct look at the DNA zipper ...

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don't tell you where specific genetic ...

A record player-like microscope and computer simulations solve a longtime mystery, showing that metal ions bridge DNA strands ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules. DNA is a molecule found in just about every living cell. Because ...

The researchers also found that DNA molecules do not all pair with the same strength. Some DNA sequences form much stronger contacts than others, creating hotspots where two helices are especially ...

The bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted infections worldwide.

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute at Kanazawa University in Japan say they have directly visualized how enzymes ...
