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 ...

Sequence recognition through base-pairing is essential for DNA repair and gene regulation, but the basic rules governing this process remain elusive. In particular, the kinetics of annealing ...

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 ...

Watson-Crick Base Pairs The most common type of base pairing is the Watson-Crick base pair, named after James Watson and Francis Crick, who first proposed the double helix structure of DNA.

Crick had just learned of Chargaff's findings about base pairs in the summer of 1952. He added that to the model, so that matching base pairs interlocked in the middle of the double helix to keep ...

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 ...

Fifty years after Watson, Crick, and their colleagues first started us down the road to considering the implications of their seminal discovery, we're just beginning to find answers and their ...

Nobel laureate Francis Crick, who half a century ago with James Watson made one of the seminal discoveries of modern science -- the double-helix structure of DNA -- died Wednesday in San Diego.

Researchers have imaged in unprecedented detail the three-dimensional structure of supercoiled DNA, revealing that its shape is much more dynamic than the well-known double helix.
