The discovery of Hoogsteen base pairs, an alternative pairing mode to the canonical Watson–Crick structure, has significantly broadened our understanding of DNA dynamics. This conformation, in which ...
DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
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, ...
Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...
