No "sticky ends"? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Hydrogen bond base pairing forces are essential for the mechanisms associated with DNA stability. Despite attracting great research attention, this fundamental interaction has ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different chemical force than natural genetic material. While the common natural DNA ...

A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to sneak plasmid DNA into living cells via hydrogen bonding, dramatically ...

Scientists at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden say they have disproved the prevailing theory of how DNA binds itself. It is not, they claim, as is generally believed, hydrogen bonds ...

A research team at the University of Cologne has developed an artificial DNA base pair that works according to a new chemical principle. In contrast to natural bases, the novel artificial base pairs ...

A Biochemical Society and RSC Chemistry Biology Interface Division Focused Meeting This one-day meeting will be held to mark the 70th anniversary of the publication in the Journal of the Chemical ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.

It is only now that the DNA bond modification process has been accurately quantified, and its quantum element understood. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/ymgerman) Quantum effects play a hitherto unexpected ...
