Foundations | DNA Base Pairs, and Erwin Chargaff Click for larger version (32K) Erwin Chargaff's groundbreaking research, which showed that DNA base pairs had a complementary relationship, laid the ...

In the canonical model 35,36, miRNA target recognition is suggested to be driven by Watson-Crick base-pair interactions of residues 2 to 8 of the 5′ portion of the miRNA, and, consequently, the ...

Base pairs are at the heart of molecular biology information. Recognized ever since their discovery by Watson and Crick in 1953, the base pair provides, among other things, rules for copying DNA ...

In addition to the standard Watson-Crick base pairs, there are also non-canonical base pairs that can form in certain situations. These include wobble base pairs, such as G-U and I-A (inosine-adenine) ...

The discovery of DNA marks its 50th anniversary. But has it come of age? What about societal implications? Also, more on the development of an electronic medical record.

The four nucleotides that comprise DNA are called adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). In a molecule of DNA, nucleotides form base pairs with a unique molecular geometry called ...

Crick had just learned of Chargaff's findings about base pairs in the summer of 1952. ... By 1962, when Watson, Crick, and Wilkins won the Nobel Prize for physiology/medicine, ...

Dr Harris said: "When Watson and Crick described the DNA double helix, they were looking at a tiny part of a real genome, ... This is about 12 DNA 'base pairs', ...

JOE PALCA, BYLINE: Watson and Crick made an unlikely pair in 1951, when they met. The tall, gangly Watson, with an unruly shock of hair, was just 23 years old, with a doctorate from Indiana ...

Unlike the fateful pairing of Watson and Crick, Franklin and Wilkins were seriously mismatched. There was a “glacial hostility” and “glowering contempt” between them.
