For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation ...

These cells and others in the body are exact copies of their parent cells -- they formed when their parent cells divided ... of DNA. We've now zoomed in enough to see portions of the DNA strand.

Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for ...

For DNA to replicate, the helix must first unwind and break the DNA from a double strand into two single strands. Credit: Taha Shahid et al Upon binding, helicases melt the DNA, breaking the ...

Fortunately, the models yielded different predictions about the distribution of old versus new DNA in newly divided cells ... a hybrid that consisted of one strand of old DNA bound to one strand ...

The sequence of nucleobases along the DNA strand encodes the genetic information necessary for the development, functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms. The order of these bases ...

RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand. Free RNA nucleotides form hydrogen bonds with the exposed DNA strand nucleotides by complementary base pairing to form a strand of mRNA: Note - RNA ...
