A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how ...

(Nanowerk News) Structural DNA nanotechnology, specifically the molecular self-assembly process known as DNA origami, has emerged as a versatile approach to fabricate nanodevices with complex ...

Biochemists have developed a new strategy for controlling the biological functions of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) by means of light and therefore provide a tool to investigate processes which take ...

DNA is the most fundamental building block of life on earth. All genetic information organisms need to function, grow, and reproduce are stored inside of their DNA. Biochemists from the University of ...

They proposed viewing each junction as a component that could be modified with “locks, time delaying units, signaling units, ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

Scientists have researched the function of an enigmatic protein. The biological necessity of this protein, which can chemically alter certain building blocks of the genetic information, has been ...

Methionine is an amino acid that is used to build molecules important for cell and DNA function. Meat, eggs, fish, and other foods containing protein will have some methionine in them. Amino acids ...

(Nanowerk News) DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the basis of life on earth. The function of DNA is to store all the genetic information, which an organism needs to develop, function and reproduce. It ...
