Researchers discovered the crystal structure of an alternative DNA configuration within the insulin gene, providing insights ...

to argue that DNA actually takes the form of a double helix, a ladder-like structure that is twisted along its entire length (Figure 6). Franklin, Watson, and Crick all published articles ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

They form when stretches of cytosine letters on the same DNA strand pair with each other, creating a four-stranded, twisted structure protruding from the double helix. The researchers found that i ...

The double helix describes the appearance of double-stranded DNA, which is composed of two linear strands that run opposite to each other, or anti-parallel, and twist together. Each DNA strand ...

Here is a view of the double helix -- the subject of Rosalind ... Note how its structure resembles a twisted ladder. Note also that DNA with a "left-handed" twist, as this has, is a special ...

A chemical sunscreen works by sucking in the UV light. It changes that light into heat that puffs off into the air, usually ...

The signature imagery of two DNA strands locked around each other is one that everyone has seen in school. And, everyone was also taught that the double helix shape with the strands are bound by ...

A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...

Co-lead author Dr. Zoë Waller (UCL School of Pharmacy) said: "DNA is our genetic material, and its structure usually looks a ...
