The separation of the two DNA strands occurs in millionths of a second. Consequently, it is extremely difficult to study this phenomenon experimentally and researchers must rely on computational ...
New York University chemists have employed a computer simulation whose results have enhanced scientific understanding of the DNA transcription process. The study, funded by the National Institutes of ...
It turns out that sequencing the human genome – determining the order of DNA building blocks -- has not completely cracked the code of how DNA directs various cellular processes. In addition to the ...
April 23 (UPI) --Scientists have for the first time created a billion-atom biomolecular simulation. Researchers designed the computer model to simulate a single DNA gene. The feat, described this ...
Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...
The first atom-level model of a DNA-packed viral capsid reveals genome structure and possible new drug targets, University of Illinois researchers report. Pictured, from left: physics professor ...
The human body is a remarkably complex machine, so it would make sense that it houses an abundance of DNA – the blueprints that help guide the body's growth and repair. But how much DNA do our bodies ...
