Researchers have captured the moment two DNA molecules zip together, overcoming their identical negative charges to pair up ...

Scientists have directly observed how two negatively charged DNA molecules can pair up despite normally repelling each other.

Scientists show that positively charged metal ions help DNA molecules overcome electrostatic repulsion, supporting the DNA ...

Researchers have for the first time directly visualised how two DNA molecules, despite their identical negative charges, zip together. This breakthrough, achieved using high-powered atomic force ...

A new study led by Francesca Storici, a professor in the School of Biological Sciences and faculty member of the Parker H.

Two DNA double helices have been visualised locking together, the first time this fundamental biological process has been capturedUsing high-powered ...

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) represent a critical form of damage in which both strands of the DNA helix are severed. If left unrepaired or misrepaired, DSBs can lead to chromosomal translocations, ...

Although DNA repair is one of the fundamental processes required for normal human embryonic development, little has been known about how it operates ...
