DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study. DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional ...

Scientists are finding ways to merge biology with electronics, unlocking new possibilities for data storage and computing.

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a double helix. That picture is still right, but it is no longer enough.

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...
