According to the authors, dynamic nanodevices powered by DNA strand displacement reactions could soon enable real-time computing, sensing and actuation inside biological systems-and usher in a new ...

This study reveals how SV40 helicase unwinds DNA, highlighting ATP hydrolysis's role in translocation and offering insights ...

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

Our DNA is usually shaped like a double helix. However, under certain conditions, a single strand of DNA can fold into a G-quadruplex (G4) structure, which looks like a knot ... “We were surprised to ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot. These knots can ...

The new method, published in Nature last week, is more efficient, storing 350 bits at a time by encoding strands in parallel. Rather than hand-threading each DNA strand, the team assembles strands ...
