It may be why life is screwed up A tightrope of DNA between two silicon nanopillars It's the most famous corkscrew in history. Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson-Crick ...

A “DNA microscope” shows locations of DNA (and its cousin, RNA) in a cell and their precise nucleotide sequences.

High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy makes it possible to study complex enzymatic processes in detail. With this method, a research team of the University of Potsdam and Humboldt-Universität ...

Cryo-electron microscopy reveals hidden mechanics of DNA replication, sheds new light on cancer target Date: March 10, 2025 Source: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Summary: Researchers shed ...

Peering inside cells has been an integral part of biology ever since the 17th century, when cells were discovered under a microscope. But even with advances in light and electron microscopy ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

Scientists have developed a new method of imaging the building blocks of life. It involves an electron microscope and a bed of nails. DNA, we are taught early on, is colorful. The building block ...

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has enabled researchers to study how the DNA replication machinery assembles at sites where DNA is damaged. Cellular DNA is continuously exposed to both ...

By tethering RNA polymerase with the coupling transcription factor NusG or its paralog or version, RfaH, which threads the ...

When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual element combining to become, for 40 years, the world's tallest building.

Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), a team of structural and molecular biologists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) set out to investigate G4s — which have gained attention as ...
