During DNA replication, the classic double helix can temporarily rearrange into an alternative structure known as a DNA three ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation—the essential process a "resting" double helix ...

Franklin W. Stahl, an American molecular biologist whose landmark 1957-58 experiment with colleague Matthew Meselson revealed how DNA replicates, helping pave the way for a revolution in genetics ...

In his 1968 book "The Double Helix," Watson alleged that he saw Franklin's photograph without her knowing and upon first glance he was able to spot DNA's double-helix structure, making it appear ...

NEW YORK — The discovery of DNA’s double helix structure 70 years ago opened up a world of new science — and also sparked disputes over who contributed what and who deserves credit.

Seventy years ago, a trio of scientific papers announcing the discovery of DNA’s double helix was published. Watson, Crick and Wilkins won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1962 for ...

We looked at the inverse problem: we started from the DNA’s response to aggressive stresses, such as the forced unzipping of the double helix, to recover the details of the thermodynamics.

The most famous image to emerge from 20th-century biology is the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double helix, illustrating the structure of the gene, life’s genetic material.

We looked at the inverse problem: we started from the DNA’s response to aggressive stresses, such as the forced unzipping of the double helix, to recover the details of the thermodynamics. Due to the ...
