Researchers have uncovered a way to manipulate DNA at the atomic level using electric field gradients to control nitrogen nuclear spins. Their findings suggest that DNA could be used as both a storage ...
Red arrows indicate the nuclear spin axes at the positions of the N3 nitrogen atoms on the guanine (G) bases. Due to the helical structure of DNA, there is an angular deviation in the orientation of ...
DNA damage is distinct from a mutation. While a mutation is one of the standard four DNA bases (A, G, T or C) in the wrong place, similar to a spelling mistake, DNA damage is chemical alteration ...
During ssDNA translocation of PcrA and UvrD monomers, the hydrolysis of one molecule of ATP is coupled to movement by one base along the DNA. However, in many cases, larger translocation steps of ...
DNA methylation is the covalent addition of methyl groups to DNA bases, typically the cytosine of CpG dinucleotides. It is catalyzed by methyltransferase enzymes using a S-adenosyl methionine ...
"The length and structure of a single DNA molecule, its specific base sequence, and its interactions with proteins must be observed by stretching it for detailed analysis." Azuma and his ...
If you'd like to learn more about your health, heritage and family history, an at-home DNA test can help you do just that. Justin Jaffe is the Managing Editor for CNET Money. He has more than 20 ...
