On February 28, 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick informally announced that they had discovered the double-helical structure of DNA. They soon reported their find more formally. On April 25, 1953, ...

Reconstructing accurately how the parts of a complex molecular are held together knowing only how the molecule distorts and breaks up. This was the challenge taken on by a research team led by SISSA’s ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. James Watson was credited as the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA. Watson was a Nobel laureate and the former Chancellor of ...

The double-helix structure of DNA deforms by environmental stimuli, which will then affect gene expression, and eventually trigger a sequence of cellular processes. Recent researches led by a ...

Odile Crick, 86, an artist who made the first widely published sketch of the double-helix structure of DNA, died July 5 at her home in La Jolla, Calif. She had cancer. Her husband, Francis H.C. Crick, ...

In May 1952, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling captured Photo 51, a crucial X-ray diffraction image revealing DNA's helical structure. Franklin's meticulous analysis provided precise measurements ...

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...

In particular, the scientists studied how a DNA double helix unzips when translocated at high velocity through a nanopore, reconstructing fundamental DNA thermodynamic properties from the sole speed ...
