When the cells inside your body lay down new tracks of DNA, they work hard not to deviate from the original blueprint—too many mistakes could lead to cancer or other diseases. Biologists synthesizing ...

Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...

Researchers achieved a new development in their studies in this new publication focusing on nano-sized robots that came from a DNA's design, now concentrate on doing wonders for biological ...

The survival and behaviour of all organisms is regulated by the highly specialized functions of molecular nanomachines, such as proteins. These nanomachines perform many different functions, including ...

Biologists the world over routinely pay companies to synthesize snippets of DNA for use in the laboratory or clinic. But intelligence experts and scientists alike have worried for years that ...

Supercoiling and looping can transmit mechanical stress along the DNA backbone that can promote the separation of the strands of the double helix at specific distant sites, exposing the DNA bases, ...
