DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood ...

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

A team of physicists working at the intersection of theory and experiment are shedding new light on the "teamwork" of molecular motors—called RNA polymerases (RNAPs)—that mediate DNA transcription.

Supercoiling and looping can transmit mechanical stress along the DNA backbone that can promote the separation of the strands of the double helix at specific distant sites, exposing the DNA bases, ...

Neurons are the anatomical and functional unit of the nervous system, regulating both vital functions and higher functions. Among the very few cells in the body that do not regenerate, these cells ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

How do related proteins develop different functions? This is the question investigated by a research team involving Kiel ...
