Beyond the ladder-like structure described above, another key characteristic of double-stranded DNA is its unique three-dimensional shape. The first photographic evidence of this shape was ...

We have determined the crystal structure of a four-way DNA junction by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction, and refined it to 2.16 Å resolution. The structure has two-fold symmetry, with ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

The output oligonucleotide bound to a different single-stranded DNA that was folded into an origami-like structure, called a register in computer lingo. The oligonucleotide was "read" by reviewing ...
